How do we know this? Because capitalists demonstrably and objectively behave as though they have class solidarity. Yes, they compete in the market and even through political corruption, but they are very organized and committed to basic principles that benefit all capitalists: anti-labor policies, weak anti-corruption laws and enforcement, tax breaks and loopholes, etc. They have lots of money, so they obviously support policies that make it easier to transmute money into power over others. This is not ideological, but a matter of material class interests. Musk's "makers vs takers" framing is Marxism, but from the point of view of a capitalist.

Likewise, it's totally possible to be a middle-class anti-labor Marxist. Marxism is only a lens to look at things through, and what it ultimately says is about the class position of whoever is looking through it. It's about identifying what one's interests are, not necessarily a prescription of what to do about it.

I agree with you on governors and senators but it's very easy not to learn who your other representatives are, because it requires close attention to detailed street by street maps that change every census.

I worry about them. I also worry about myself -- what is working with these psychosis machines doing to me? Will I start sounding like that? Do I already? I am thinking about ways to insulate myself from this as much as possible.

Is AI psychosis the white collar black lung?

This of course treats the whole issue in a very technocratic, whiggish way whereas the real disagreements between these groups is not like that at all.

Or will it just incentivize harsher treatment of noncompliant parts of the population?

Or just pushing these things far from urban areas where they probably should have been already?

Probably a bit of each, and some more I'm not thinking of.

It's maybe the worst possible way to handle the situation even if you are a breathless US interventionist.

An AI (or crypto mining) datacenter is fundamentally a financial fraud (or most charitably, in Mr. Greenspan's immortal phrasing, a result of "irrational exuberance") that has taken physical form. Nothing about it is rational, and their operators are happy to waste millions fighting even doomed legal battles to keep the music playing so they don't have to grab a chair.

When service work is strongly organized and represented we can start talking about changing tipping culture.
