So... This may be an unpopular question. Almost every time AI is discussed, a staggering number of posts support very right-wing positions. EG on topics like this one: Unearned money for capital owners. It's all Ayn Rand and not Karl Marx. Posters seem to be unaware of that, though.

Is that the "neoliberal Zeitgeist" or what you may call it?

I'm worried about what this may mean for the future.

ETA: 7 downvotes after 1 hour with 0 explanation. About what I expected.

As an aside, when I browse TheGatewayPundit comments on AI articles, it is a lot more open, against legislation, and woke than I would expect!
