Blaming capitalism is a cop out at this point. You can’t just ignore some very specific problems about a very specific technology then gesture wildly at the world and be like, “if only we didn’t have the entire system set up the way we do, if only we had a perfect economy”.
Good and bad things can still happen in capitalism. You can’t just throw up your hands and say “capitalism” when rat poison ends up in baby food. Regulation can still exist in capitalism and has a proven track record to work. You don’t have to replace the entirety of your economic system to prevent AI data centers from being built.




Yep, this comic did not age well. This technology literally targets artists. That’s pretty new.
