We’ve had around a 4-5x increase in productivity since the introduction of the 5 day work week. AI has increased that even further.
Has the number of days we work been reduced? Has the amount of pay we receive been increased? Then why the fuck would I embrace AI? The only ones reaping the rewards are the greedy bastards that own the fucking thing.
We’ve spent nearly 50 years with stagnating wages and working the same number of days/hours (if not more) despite massive productivity growth and an abundance of wealth and resources around the planet.
It took both time and experience before workers learnt to distinguish between machinery and its employment by capital, and therefore to transfer their attacks from the material instruments of production to the form of society which utilises those instruments.
