Most potential technology will of course be acontextual and lacking any kind of critique of capitalism. I witness people I know make all kind of “wise” decisions based on career expectations or ambition and definitions of “success,” and they’re actually really miserable yet can’t seem to recognise why. I’m unconvinced AI developed by capitalist companies would provide healthier perspectives.
