For those who know me, you might be surprised I'm a leftist in disguise :)) I wrote this short piece about AI excitement and how it might accelerate a movement towards communism 🙃 https://x.com/aIixkun/status/1877714981187355087

Communism is not about distribution of basic needs. It's about workers (or now "people" in post-AI world) owning the MEANS of production. In a world where all production is made by AI, "means" = "power to make decisions, power to allocate resources". So if AI gives us food, shelter, everything we need at a fundamental level, we still won't be in communism if the decisions are made only by those who control these models.

Hmm, let's call it communism 2.0 then, with ppl being in control of AIs. Because I don't see AI doing all of that for free. I don't see a universe where: 1/We're still in a capitalistic societies 2/AIs do everything for us free of charge 3/We don't need to work for a living Like, this parallel universe doesn't exist for me, just because a society where "the fews who control make the decision" also means these fews control the value, and in a capitalistic society, this value wouldnt be redistributed properly, so it would lead to the uprising I'm mentioning in my post.

I'd love to be optimistic. I think the misunderstanding here is the difference between the value and means. The few can control the means while distributing value (needs like basic healthcare, shelter, food) sufficiently. That is pretty much what we have but at a bigger scale.
