The left has turned against AI. By John Carter.
The left has turned against AI because they correctly sense that it will strip mine their power bases.
Their strongest argument for the third world flood is that we need people to do the jobs white people aren’t interested in. In practice, that’s driving trucks, driving Ubers, delivering food, working in food services, and writing shit code. Self-driving cars make all the driving jobs redundant, robots will probably be able to flip burgers, chatbots can write shit code. Which means there’s no argument not to send them all back that isn’t “but it would be mean” …
The lower 80% of the professional-managerial class (PMC) is finished, unless they can trick or bully us into paying them for existing:
Professional-managerial jobs are mostly bullshit fake email jobs, and everyone knows it. Everyone also knows they’re already letting ChatGPT do their work for them. There’s already no good argument for not firing 95% of administrative and clerical staff at large corporations and public sector bureaucracies. The jobs were always fake, yes, but LLMs rip away the fig leaf of plausible deniability. No really, what are we paying you for?
Libtard status is to a large degree based on university degrees. Again AI is annihilating this, because everyone knows students are CheatGPTing their ways through programs that everyone already knew were largely meaningless. Default assumption for the class of 2026 will be that AI completed all their coursework for them.
AI is eating the social status and the jobs of the PMC, while destroying the economic argument for their pet project of replacement migration.
Who wins from AI?
The people being empowered by AI tend to be either tech moguls (the industrial bourgeoisie) who own the data centres, or the genuinely creative classes (entrepreneurs, freelancers, artists) who can use AI to do all the clerical grunt work you used to need a large organization to handle.
The bourgeoisie are something of a disempowered aristocracy, very much shoved to the side by the managerial class. Entrepreneurs are the most economically oppressed class in society. Both feel themselves to be carrying a huge parasite burden, which not only sucks their wealth away towards unproductive and even destructive uses, but constrains their action via the anarchotyrannical webwork of rules and regulations the managerialists have woven. …
Their cultural power will soon but be a distant memory:
Entertainment media is another field where the left will take a huge hit. AI generated TV shows and movies made by individual creators will eat Hollywood alive. The intracultural dominance that the left has achieved by locking down the bureaucratic structure of large production studios will become meaningless very quickly. This will rip money out of their pockets, but more importantly destroy their cultural power.
Raw gimme-dat:
There isn’t much the left can do about this. They can try to demonize the use of AI, but that’s going to be a long term effective strategy.
Their only real play is to make a big push for a massive new system of parasitism. Hence UBI, but also all the mad stuff like unrealized capital gains taxes, the hate towards billionaires in general and Musk specifically, the argument that the rich need to pay their fair share etc. If they lose their sinecures, they’ll demand tribute.
If they get it, they’ll be able to devote themselves full time to left wing activism. That will make the leftist problem 100x worse than it already is.
The left is becoming the party of the “oppressed,” which in modern parlance really means those less able to compete economically, which in turn effectively means those groups with lower average IQs. The left is fast becoming the party of the stupid, criminals, fraudsters, and the gimme-dats. So of course they hate whites, Musk, Israel, Trump, merit, accountability, AI, etc. etc.
