“No longer does humanity have a say in their rights, because they longer have economic usefulness. They may simply be allowed to exist, given capital's new arrangements for living.”

What if one of the positive outcomes of AI is that humanity will be no longer said, judged, or arranged by capital, assuming that AI is eventually not capital’s puppet?

Hi, thanks for the comment. Even though AI so far has been in the hands of capital, with billions in investment, there may be free AI alternatives able to compete with theirs. In that case, capital would not have a monopoly over AI software. But, they still would have an advantage in hardware required to run these systems, and everything shifting into cloud computing, they may maintain control for the foreseeable future.

That is the underlying premise but I am just curious whether AI would eventually become more than an enhanced search engine. I “chat” with chatGPT everyday and ask complex questions. What I have noticed is that the answers to my same questions have nuances after each day. I am just waiting to know what drives these nuances - technology backed by capital, or something else which could eventually enable AI to transcend capital and capital’s will, technology, and redefine all the existing covenants between us and the authorities / gods?

Nonetheless thank you for sharing an inspiring article!

That is an interesting idea. If AI could develop free will and escape capital. If it dismantles the capital structure, would it see value in humanity?
