and there it is. Fundamentally, everyone in a capitalist society is a capitalist, either voluntarily or involuntarily. I agree fully - tools can definitely be used to the advantage of one social class over another. We have no newspapers, for example (middle class) because of the annihiliation of classified ads (lower class). Farming is concentrated (upper class) because of the mechanization of individual agriculture (lower class). But going "this tool is the problem" is an utter and total waste of time if what you're trying to do is protect society. Are LLMs plagiarism machines? Mos def. Are they useful without plagiarism? Prolly not. Do we have mechanisms in place to protect against plagiarism? Hell yeah all that has to happen is for the techbros to learn they're not above the law. yet when I say "it's all plagiarism" what I get, EVERYWHERE, is "no no man it's fuckkn eldritch magic that will doom us all."If it's like a nail gun, then it's still problematic, because almost every new piece of tech disproportionately benefits the capitalists.
