YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Bret Weinstein argues that AI is being deployed as a kind of "degenerate intellectual communism" that takes from human creators according to ability, then charges them for access.

"To each according to his need, no. You may need top level AI. You may have done high quality work that got ingested into the AI and is therefore serving other people. And you may need top level access that you can't afford to buy, sorry.

So this is why I say it's degenerate intellectual communism. It has the essential element of communism from each according to his ability. You will invest in this thing and you don't have a goddamn choice about it."
