Thanks for posting. My critique of the video after having watched and discussed it would be that she makes good points in the overall but could stand to drive the point home more: if Marx remarked all that in ~1850 already, then it shows it's not about AI specifically (or any latest new tech) but about capitalism's very structure.

Capitalism doesn't care about making good products which is the bulk of the video and what the parts she quotes from Marx are getting at. No ethical consumption no ethical production etc. An artistic endeavor or any endeavor in capitalism is for profit and can't exist on its own unless it has exchange value so there is simply no "true" art possible in capitalism.

Therefore the end can feel like a call to liberal boycotting, "if only we had people who cared about art in charge of making commodities" but as she implies it would only be repeating the same pattern all over again, eventually these people in charge get alienated from the product. I'm sure she was implying revolution but I chalk it up to you can't be too spicy for youtube so you have to self-censor. Which is not a good thing but I don't want to dissert on it right now lol.
