Read ‘The Communist Manifesto’ if you’d like to understand in which ways the bourgeoisie used the industrial revolution to hurt the proletariat, exactly as they are with AI.
Comment on Why so much hate toward AI?
iopq@lemmy.world 5 days agoReads like a rant against the industrial revolution. “The industry is only concerned about replacing workers with steam engines!”

The industrial revolution is what made socialism possible, since now a smaller amount of workers can support the elderly, children, etc.
Just look at China before and after industrializing. Life expectancy way up, the government can provide services like public transit and medicine (for a nominal fee)

We’re discussing how industry and technology are used against the proletariat, not how state economies form. You can read the pamphlet referenced in the previous post if you’d like to understand the topic at hand.

You’re probably not wrong. It’s definitely along the same lines… although the repercussions of this particular one will be infinitely greater than those of the industrial revolution.
Also, industrialization made for better products because of better manufacturing processes. I’m by no means sure we can say the same about AI. Maybe some day, but today it’s just “an advanced dumbass” considering most real world scenarios.
