Recently got in an argument with a person claiming to be a leftist who said open source AI would replace all artist and writers within the next 5 years. When I asked him how consolidating even more power under the owner and management class fit within leftist ideology…he said we would simply replace their jobs with a UBI.
After going back and forth with him the last couple days it seems like a lot of tech bros confuse open source software competing with monopolies like Microsoft with leftist activism. In reality they are more often than not effective altruist (capitalism but with more charities), or oxymoronic an-caps.
