Yes, being a materialist means viewing human consciousness as being a product of physical processes within the brain. I'm not sure how that's in any way at odds with consciousness being shaped by material social relations. Computational process is how you are shaped. Encoding the model of the world that you live within the structure of the neural network in your brain in is what shaping is. Why in the world would you claim that a computational processes abstracted from history, class, and labor. That does not make a lick of sense.
If that was true than the US would be doing that, but the reality is that it's Iran winning the propaganda war as even mainstream western media admits https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjd8jrd1vnyo
I mean that's the beauty of having a free will and a mind. Each person can figure this question out for themselves.
I don't even know what you're trying to say here. It's frankly incoherent.
Again, it's a really weird question. Is your goal in life to be unique, why is it your goal?
I just don't want to be discarded. I don't trust this technology under Capitalism. I don't trust you or know who you are, what's your class background?
Are you a proletariat using these tools for survival or are you using this as entertainment? Can you help me and my friends find replacement jobs if we've been displaced by bosses choosing AI instead?
We don't really have anything to discuss to be honest and this will be going in circles forever because I am fundamentally opposed to your world view.
If you wan to impress me create an AI that can think for itself. That's something I would like to see. At least there's a chance it might try to liberate Palestine, humans clearly don't give enough of a shit to do that.
I don't trust this technology under capitalism either. That's why I think the workers need to develop their own version of this technology that's publicly owned, and controlled. Because the alternative is that it becomes a tool of class oppression that's owned solely by the ruling class. Marxists understand that trying to wish new technology away because it's socially disruptive is not the way forward. Building our own tools that are in the hands of the workers is the only solution.
And yes, I'm a worker and my labor is my source of income. In fact, working in software development, I'm one of the people who will be most affected by this technology in the near future.
I don't really care to impress you, and clearly you're not interested in a rational discussion. So, you're absolutely right that there really is no point continuing this.
You cannot build working class power by alienating the very workers you claim to stand with.
You absolutely can build class power by educating people and having principled views. Bolsheviks famously did not try to build any big tent coalitions, they focused on having correct ideas. I would really suggest that you try doing some self criticism to work through your reactionary ideas and come up with a coherent position on the subject.
