A Marxist or Luddite approach is not the solution to the challenges AI poses to working people.
Instead, we need to imbue the tech class with Abrahamic spiritual values.
I'm convinced that no practicing Catholic would ever declare a corporate goal of eliminating all jobs in five years, even as a fundraising stunt, as one bunch of tech bros in the valley recently did.
As great as that would be, we can't wait for Altman et al to have a come to Jesus moment, though as a Christian myself, I would very much like them to. We can't wait for them to see past their own greed and lust for power before we take steps to protect our livelihoods and dignity.
Whether or not they ever do, workers can engage in mutual aid and solidarity. The early church was a great example of this.
I think Marxist responses like unionism will simply accentuate what might be uncharitable characterized as the war on workers.
Prosletyzing tech bros (and Wall Street) with Abrahamic values has been a 3,000 year project, but I have (very recently) become convinced that jt is the only solution to this and virtually all of our problems.
It can be positioned as enlightened self-interest.
