      AI wouldnt exist in any similar form without capitalism, so youre technically roght. But devaluing (emotionally) artists works and making it harder to discover them because of easy mass proloferation of ai works (would happen regardless of capitalism imo) is a very heavy negative already, not to mention to the ecological toll it takes, which isnt solved by removing capitalism from the equation either as thats necessary for it to function in its current state

        If generative AI wouldn’t exist in a society without capitalism we would have failed. We need innovation and science, just without the profit motive. I agree that it probably wouldn’t be as prevalent, but we don’t stop cern because it requires a lot of energy.

          cern might be a bad example. cern was literally built because every nation on earth feared that it would be left behind on the development of even stronger nuclear physics shenanigans to make weapons out of it; and every country wanted to be “in” on the world-class research in this field. that’s why every country benefits from participation in CERN. this research was not paid because of “good-will”, but because of fear and military necessity.

      Yeah, but their current form may never have existed if it wasn’t for capitalism, and how CEOs “build”.

      Car-dependent cities did pop-up behind the iron curtain, and that did not make car dependency any better. Sorry, some tech are just inherently poopoocaacaa.

        Which wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for capitalism. We would have likely already adopted renewables by now and AI wouldn’t have been commercialized bullshit so we in turn wouldn’t have super massive datacenters.
