The political battle over AI is only just getting started. But who reaps the benefits, and who bears the costs? Without regulation, we risk an “anything goes” situation; without strong redistributive mechanisms, AI will continue to forge new tech oligarchs. #AI #criticaltech
AI and the Means of Intellectual Production
AI isn’t so much a break with past history as a continuation of capitalism’s accelerating tendencies—with humanity’s collective data as its training set, and with millions of jobs at risk.

The evolution of xAI Grok (1-4) is impressive yet empty. Although it can "translate", it remains chained to English. What about longer prompts? It stalls, treating them as puzzles. Will Grok 5 break free of its current constraints? #AI #xAI #Grok #Grok5 #Colossus2 #CriticalTech

How can we study the impact of AI if we refuse to name the system? 🤖📝
