tl;dr

They argue AI abolition is only possible alongside the abolition of capitalism, since AI's harms are integral to capitalism itself.

Their idea of AI abolition aims at a liberatory alternative, which they define as "a revolution from the left as an alternative to global technofascism."

The above is my personal selection from what glm-5.3 responded with to my question "What's the main point of this?" asked in the web browser that I created myself using agents that has an agent chat embedded where I can ask it to read and manipulate any page I'm viewing.

Almost all of the grievances directed at AI come from unchecked hyperstitionalized capitalism. So why not try to fix that rather than blame technology? Even if you abolish AI you'd have exactly the same problems, and then some.

TBF the article does identify this, but then it seems to put the cart before the horse.
