I feel like they are more dangerous than oligarchs.
Look at Russian oligarchs. They don't try to change the world. They know they are not welcomed so just buy properties at London, buy yachts, etc. and then enjoy what they have.
Tech libertarians seem to view themselves as savior of the world and attempts to change it (for the worse).
No one is assuming that.
Also capitalism =/= market mechanics
There are ways where you can apply market mechanics to generate price signal but not let capitalism run rampant.
Feels like a split is for the best for both parties.
One can just freely do what they want to do while the other can keep the rules which are important for other parts.
I have commented many times in favour of labour rights over capital and I have clearly explained why I said what I said above. Check my comment history if you don't believe it. Stop misinterpreting my intention.
Why do you say this is blind ranting? I have listed reasons that I think the situation is unacceptable. My arguments are all against the talking points, not the poster. You are being very rude and making the discussion toxic.
Responding to your enjoyment point:
AI will replace human creators not exactly because it’s better, but because it’s cheaper and more scalable, which means they will be adopted in this neoliberal society.
We are already seeing this in mobile games in China where developers use AI generated art.
You might have misunderstood. I absolutely understand good translation is art.
I am also disappointed that they are being replaced by machine. There are so many times when I would walk into a movie and notice the subtitle is shit, and then spent the whole time thinking how I would translate that part instead of watching the movie.
The above is just me stating why many people forgot about translators.
Narration is also an art. A good narrator can make the script much more engaging than say...someone just reading from the script. I have seen the difference first hand and it is substantial.
No one is talking about translation and subtitles.
I am very aware of machine translation, probably more than most people in here. In fact, machine translation started much earlier than this AI craze...like they started massively using machine translation for a decade already. That's why some of the Netflix translation to foreign language is so shit.
The thing is no one is outraged about machine translation because it is not a primary creative process. This is very different from acting, voice acting, illustration, creative writing, etc. that people care about.
I understand what you mean. The issue is when people use the word “libertarianism”, the mean the far right one.
Left wing libertarian nowadays usually refer themselves as anarchist.
