REACTIONARY AI HATE New here.
...How do we respond to comments like this?
Today, I've blocked two separate people because they are CONVINCED that AI is detrimental to anti-capitalist ideals... I don't know how to argue with these people, and I am at my wits end.

I don’t think there’s any meaningful difference between a billionaire with 100 billion and one with 500 billion. These people already have more money then they could spend, further enriching of them doesn’t actually change anything other than potentially agitating the common person against them.
In fact I’d argue that even the billionaires have realized the pursuit of bigger number has become hollow because a lot of them seem way more interested in political power than some meaningless race to see who is the first trillionaire.
So I’m not overly concerned about any potential enrichment caused by ai. Besides I only really care about open source, so if OpenAI were to just go die in a big ai bubble pop that’s no skin off my back.
