"What is needed, therefore, is a properly political debate about AI."

Yeah, just like the political debate on nuclear energy that's gone so well for us.

"Rather than let the emergence of AI be the reason for perpetuating class conflict that risks distracting from the real AI threat, might it not serve instead as an opportunity to forge a new class truce uniting all who stand to lose from the AI revolution against the forces who stand to profit from it?"

Commie babble.

"The death of “bullshit jobs” may instead be accomplished once managerial elites are made to turn their cognitive and organizational abilities to the serious task of building a new industrial economy, thereby also enabling their blue-collar compatriots to find work in the manifold forms of physical and manual labor that such an economy would still require."

Wow, if only we could reintroduce back breaking labour (and probably gulags) rather than safer, more meaningful work for low skilled people, perhaps they won't have the energy to notice that we banned AI from medical diagnosis in spite of AI already being more accurate than humans.

They will take my GPU's from my cold, dead hands. Accelerate.
