   We are moving closer to the future Marx envisioned as a utopia—not through a workers’ revolution, but through capitalist productivity.

      Marx envisioned the class struggle ending with the triumph of the working class, and a subsequent dissolution of all class systems.

      AGI, if defined as a fully general replacement for labour, suggests a "bad ending" to class struggle: the liquidation of working classes, and the eternal reign of the ruling class.

      Marx envisioned the working class have control of and directly receiving the dividends of their economy, and thus from AI also.

      I certainly don't expect to get a dividend payment from AI anytime soon just for being part of the working class.
