Capitalism is untenable and I say that with frustration as someone who was able to do better after growing up lower-middle class (kinda poor).

AI is already displacing some people from their work. I hate both absolute capitalism and socialism/communism. How can AI help us find a sweet spot?

Honestly, it can't. What it will do instead is cause the most abrupt wealth concentration in the history of humankind. This will create 'revolutionary' conditions, although the shape and direction of that revolution will differ from context to context. In some places, it is likely to be fascist; in others, socialist; in still others, unexplored, undiscovered options. It will be a time of experimentation -- or as Gramsci eloquently, and more pessimistically, put it, a "time of monsters."

But what is going away, permanently, is the space between extremes. Pour one out. I miss it already.
