      I think this could be the beginning of the end for capitalism.

      With past automation capital became more efficient but labor was still required. A tractor for example replaced hundreds of farmers, but still required an operator, same with factory machines. But AI is different.

      Capitalism requires the capital labor relationship, but AI fudementally gets rid of that.

      What way it ends up I don’t know, but for the first time there is a real chance to end the extractive nature of wage labor.

        Yeah… and I don’t think we can leave the outcome to chance. Because wealth disparity, if left unchecked, is still going to exist after this happens (and probably get even worse).
