I was about to create a post to say the same.
I live in a socialist country and corruption is blatant. The state controls too much. Meritocracy is out the window. Everything the politicians do if to get votes even if it is a bad in the long run.
"But Norway is socialist and good." Norway discovered oil and gas reserves and the Government did a very capitalist thing with the money... THEY INVESTED IT, in the stock market!
We need less human intervention in the state. Because humans are corrupt. Simpler rules.
I believe UBI is the solution. Because true UBI doesn't discriminate and is the same for everyone. Giving people a baseline to survive without working.
People going after AI because of "Muh jerbs" or the elites will put them behind paywalls is non-sense. True, the elites will control AIs behind paywalls. False that they will manage to keep it that way. The AI will leak eventually. But even if the AI is free, does it matter? Most people are even too dumb to use AI. It's like being friends with the smartest, most knowledgable guy in the world. Dumb people will make fun of him and never have the right questions to ask.
I don't know what future the anit-capitalist people want (most I know are against UBI!), these people don't even know what they want. AI won't fix that for them. Maybe they don't want AI because they will never make anything out of it.
