Artificial Intelligence Is Bringing Us the Communism That Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao, and Pol Pot Were Unable To Deliver
The Digital Revolution Equals Communism
Finally, equality has arrived.
Artificial intelligence greatly empowers scammers and malevolent uses of the Internet. Malwarebytes provides updates on the latest threats. See here, here, and here.
The digital revolution and artificial intelligence are not only the greatest possible threat to our privacy and financial security, but also to our values, because the digital revolution makes possible Communism, our likely future. Humans, like the Borg in Star Trek, will no longer be individuals capable of thought. They will be part of a collective with a collective mind imposed by official narratives, with all unofficial narratives censored as misinformation.
Already in American universities and public schools students are being taught that compliance with official narratives is rewarded and that intelligence is the ability to remember and repeat. Even this is being bypassed, because students no longer know a subject or how to use language to write a theme. AI does it for them, so of what does modern education consist? It consists of knowing how to use AI to solve math and physics problems and write your history and English papers. You don’t need to know math, physics, history, or how to use the language. Never learning these skills, education produces uneducated citizens.
These are precisely the people who will be made useless by AI. AI has a massive advantage over researchers and memory and repeat. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects will be needed only in small numbers to type into the computers the medical symptoms, legal precedents, architectural parameters for the building, and the parameters of the engineering problem. AI’s ability to recognize patterns and to rapidly search data bases eliminates most purposes of the upper professional classes.
The process of technology separating students from learning skills perhaps began with handheld calculators, which resulted in children ceasing to learn the multiplication tables. With the advent of computer keyboards, students ceased to learn to write cursive.
As AI replaces human skills, it also destroys human jobs. What people, especially free market libertarian economists, have not understood is that unlike earlier technological advances, AI eliminates the need of humans to do jobs. AI is a step beyond offshoring. Offshoring eliminated Americans jobs by giving the jobs to China, other parts of Asia and Mexico. But still humans did the jobs. Human performance was not eliminated, just a change in location of performance.
In earlier times when technology destroyed household jobs (as in the “putting out system,” see Appendix at the end) and relocated them in factories, the technological advance did not eliminate the need for humans to do the jobs. T
