LOL, like we took control after the DotCom crash or The Great Recession, or the pandemic.

We can only hope to gain control by organizing and exercizing our labour power. Economically and by extension in AI. Until then, the political class would keep serving whoever holds capital at the moment, bail them out with our surplus and pretend to regulate them.

They’re talking about humans. Those are mammals with value.

You and I are the working class. We are not humans.

You'll lose your job through cascading cuts and pay more in cost of living, giving the rich another massive opportunity to harvest up assets within a 30-year period.

Barely the same agents with most of the resources will rush into capitalise it, "control" from a few is a perpetual war...

Humans being in control is what got us in this mess in the first place though.

I don’t think I would call the (tech) elite running the show today “human beings”
