  • I’m an electrician. By and large, electromechanics has been fully solved for a hot minute now. But as long as people are involved in wiring up buildings (as they should be), errors will persist. And thats fine, because an occasional human-caused fault is preferable to clanker-caused faults - you can’t take a clanker to court. So far, they can’t wire up a building either.

    Digital spaces are seeing problems because the humans can’t properly future-proof themselves to a point. The vast majority of these issues would be nonexistent under a proper form of worker-led socialism. In other words, theyre due to weak regulatory forces within capitalist structures.

    As systems grow more complex, the potential for failures increases exponentially. This will continue.





  • There is only one thing for certain: the people who hold the purses dictate the policies.

    I sympathize for the IT workers who feel like they’re engineering their replacements. Eventually, only a fraction of those jobs will survive.

    I believe hardware and market limitations will curb AI growth in the near future, hopefully the dust will start to settle and the real people who need to feed their families will find a way through. I think one way or another, there will be a serious need for social safety net programs to offset the IT labor surplus, which, hopefully, could create a (Socialist) Red Wave.






  • Im absolutely not confusing “libertarians” with liberals. The points you list say nothing of anti-capitalism because they have never been anti-capitalist. Ever.

    Liberalism in its many forms is the dominant ideology of the Western bourgeoisie and has been used time and time again to defend capitalism from radical change for two centuries now. This isn’t a new point.

    I suggest reading some actual theory and not relying on Google.
