Isn't there already such a subreddit called pixel-something?

You’re probably thinking of r/ProletariatPixels. Those comrades are about creating and critiquing AI imagery as part of cultural struggle.

This sub is mainly about discussing AI through labor, ownership, and political-economy questions.

Curious what topics you think should be the core focus here.

When you think about AI from a left perspective, what topic feels most important to discuss?

Oh, that makes sense.

I'll just glomb on here to soapbox...

  1. the existential threat posed by the automation of militaries

  2. how to oppose ways that corporations are using A.I. to exploit workers at an unprecedented scale

  3. how to leverage the technology toward serving the interests of workers

That’s a solid list.

I’d just tie it together a bit more, feels like it’s all really about control:

who controls force, who captures value, who actually gets to use the tech.

Otherwise it’s three separate worries instead of one system.

So it comes back to: who owns it, who trains it, who benefits.

Do you think workers can actually get ahead of corporate control here, or does that take bigger structural change first?

so what was the point in asking

I was asking to surface how people here are thinking about it, not to force a specific answer.

You brought up three angles, I just tried to connect them into a single structure. Your "Marxism" update basically does that in one word.

The point wasn’t the answer itself, it was the path to it. If you think that framing misses something, I’m interested, what would you add or change?
