    Exactly. One would think that .ml will like the idea of owning at least 50% of AI companies. It’s funny that none on the left haven’t applied, let alone evolve, Marxist ideas to try to own AI. If workplaces should be owned by workers because labour is what fuels workplace, then if knowledge from everyone is what drives AI, it is only logical that the people should also own AI.

      In a socialist society, sure, absolutely. In a capitalist one, no. Nationalization does not exist outside the context of the broader state and economy. You can see an example of how socialist countries handle AI very differently with China, where it is more of a utility for public gain than private profits.

        Gotcha, if capitalist countries already spy on their own citizens through technology and AI, then I am certain China won’t be doing the same since they are on the opposite political spectrum.

          Nobody said the Chinese state doesn’t use surveillance, the primary difference is that China is socialist, and the working classes control the state. Nationalization in a capitalist context is under a bourgeois state, nationalization in a socialist context is under a proletarian state. These aren’t vauge “sides,” but concrete class distinctions.

            Ah yes, I’m sure the Chinese working class who totally own the state love to use AI and technology to spy on themselves.

              What class do you believe is in control of the state in China? Surveillance is used to cement proletarian control and root out infiltration and capitalist organizing. It’s why China executes many billionaires, and is one of the only countries in the world where the number of billionaires is decreasing year over year despite increasing per capita wealth year over year. Sarcasm isn’t a point.

                Oh okay, sounds like everyone there is paranoid that their loved ones are secretly capitalists. Must have explained why from 285 billionaires in 2019, an additional 800 or so more billionaires have sprung up in China just last year. Did they eat the rich after finding out their neighbours and loved ones are capitalists, and then shat them out to produce 800 more billionaires? It sounds counterintuitive for a worker owned, socialist StAtE.

                  Interesting data, seems it isn’t consistent, while what is consistent is the rise in the amount of wealth owned by the working classes in proportion to capitalists. Even more interesting is the rate of billionaires, where China ranks very low. China still has billionaires because it still has private property, and it still has private property because the secondary and less developed industry is largely private while the commanding heights of the economy are overwhelmingly publicly owned and driven. This isn’t counterintuitive at all, as markets do their thing and centralize, they are gradually folded more into the public sector.

                  Again, what class do you think controls the state? What do you think socialism even is?

                    I totally get you. Billionaires don’t exist in China if the working class wealth rises and the rAtE of number of billionaires in China is low despite outnumbering US already. That is a great answer that is totally not written by DeepSeek using a translator to English, with amazing syntax and not a self-contradicting statement who just said China has decreasing number of billionaires a while ago!

                    Again, what class do you think controls the state? What do you think socialism even is?

                    If the working class owns the state, according to you, and the state owns the industry, according to you, then nationalisation?

        the USA goverment will.

        Are you telling me that the US government outsourcing surveillance and insider trading with tech oligarchs, isn’t already?

        Presumably, the bill will mean reining the potential harm of AI. Also, this means the American people will get direct dividends. A first step towards universal basic income. It’s not different to Alaskans getting dividends from oil revenues in their state.
