As Marxists, we must carefully investigate all technological advance, especially those in computation, and of cybernetics we must be most curious of all.

Computation is at most the symbolic record of the movement of a thought through time. The best an AI can ever do is recording and playing back the process-of-thinking to us, and in the case of large-language-models, this computation produces works that will always pale in comparison to the minds it was trained upon. In spite of any psychic qualities that may be assigned to the electron, our silicon genius can never actually be a Sibelius or a Riemann.

Those fundamental limitations of computers, however, will matter little: the consistent history of the misuse of new computer technologies, by the capitalist powers, for controlling individuals and populations, confirms for us that the repression and social deterioration that we collectively experience will reach unbearable heights in the days to come.
