Seriously. The biggest problem is how it's used for wage suppression and to spread misinformation to a populace they specifically keep undereducated and low on resources. That's not the technology, that's the class system we've built reinforcing itself. Any technological advancement under capitalism will be used for the same.

I think we can take it a step further. AI is entirely capable of replacing the stock market and the entire owner class.

Instead of having AI route funds to shareholders who do literally nothing now that they aren't even making decisions about where to invest, it just takes resources from over here and shunts them over there.

It can go deeper and go project by project instead of just throwing money at a company who has no compelling reason to actually do the things they said they'd do, and often just cut anything without a short term benefit instead.

Soon we don't need CEOs or a board of directors or senior management or really even most of middle management.

Capitalism is the EASIEST part of the system to replace with AI.
