I’m an idealist. I don’t think technology itself is harmful, but the control over the technology and the purpose of implementation to increase profits when we have the capacity to make human lives better is where the problem lies.

We could end work.

Think about that. We could live a life—

…we could live. Period.

We have that capability, AI could be the final building block to build a utopia. But we are ruled by people who see the world backwards: where people are the fuel to keep the money engine running. Instead of money and technology being the fuel and the machines to make life livable for more people and free.

We as a people aren’t worried about automation because we love our jobs and want to do them forever. We are worried about automation because in this system, under this backwards ass thinking, your career being automated is the system saying, “fuck you, we can increase profits if we destroy your livelihood. And that’s what we’re gonna do. Go take a computer class or something. Eat shit and die.” Capitalism will leave us all to starve and die if it means profits would increase.

I don’t think limiting human capability is the answer. I don’t think limiting human achievement is the answer. The answer is cooperation for the common good. To finally make life about living free and happy, not about making capitalism more profitable for the fewer and fewer people with their hands on the levers.
