I’ve recently been thinking about LLM tokens and what it would mean if the only way that software could be written was through the use of tokens sold by an AI company (we’re not there, yet, and we might never get there, so this is just a thought experiment). In my head, this made tokens basically means of production, as they would be “the resources […] that workers [would] use in order to produce goods” to quote prolewiki. I would like to know more about this, see if it’s an idea that holds any weight, but I know very little about economics and Marxist theory, and I struggle to reason about what this could mean (or if it’s correct to begin with), so I was wondering if any of you had come across this idea or similar analysis before and could point them out to me.

I hope this is the right community to ask this, if not please redirect me!
