The prospect of an ascendant open-source future changes the AI landscape;

It [potentially] prevents AI from being turned into capital — unique for a socially disruptive productive force under the capitalist mode of production.
If so, the commercial pressure to turn open-source AI into capital will be enormous.

It [potentially] makes AI commonly owned and its use democratically controlled by society as a whole.
If so, the political pressure to monopolise open-source AI’s use and control will be enormous.
Granted the disruptive role of AI coupled with the ascendance of its implementation in non-commercial open-source, it is no longer far fetched to ask…

Is AI [potentially] the marxian productive force that shatters the capitalist superstructure and puts our social demand for common ownership and democratic control of the world’s resources fairly and squarely on the world’s agenda?
