The Means of Prediction: How AI Really Works (And Who Benefits)

by control over the resources that are required for building AI. I call these resources the means of prediction in reference to Marx’s term means of production, which designates all the resources (capital, land, etc.) that enter the production process. There are four main types of resources, or means of prediction, that

the end, the “ethics of the IWW,” as Flynn saw it, approved “any and all means” that would advance the revolutionary project of seizing the means of production.

Our task will be to work out a vision for a society and an economy that does not depend on motivating people

, even freer societies are possible: Marx thought that some forms of socialism and communism offered even more freedom. According to Marx, private ownership of the means of production permits capitalists to operate like vampires sucking time out of workers. The point may be illustrated with a simple example of two identical factories in

feudal society. But, as intimated above, workers are not offered the choice of working for capitalists or adopting a socialized model of ownership of the means of production.

making any such judgments. 46 FREE MONEY FOR ALL Inverted Marxism: A Purer Form of Capitalism Marx makes two important claims: socializing ownership of the means of production would lead to increased freedom for workers, and capitalism is inherently unjustly coercive. Both claims have been challenged. A common response to the first claim

is that workers would not be (or are not) freer under a socialized ownership of the means of production. Proponents of this view might point to the inefficiencies of socialist economies. Workers often have to work as many hours as their counterparts in capitalistic

economies for less money, and so Marx was wrong to think that socialized ownership of the means of production would result in more freedom. The second claim, that capitalism is inherently unjustly coercive, has been challenged in two ways: it has been argued that

private ownership of the means of production is coercive, but not unjustly so, and that the private ownership of the means of production is not coercive. For present proposes, we will follow suit with the critics of Marxism and reject both

will accept, at least for the purposes of argument, that socialism will not lead to more freedom for workers, and that private ownership of the means of production is not unjustly coercive. What I want to suggest is that neither is sufficient to vindicate the contemporary version of capitalism. To show this, I

to turn Marx’s argument on its head. We should consider what it would mean to privatize all the means of production. To see why it is plausible to think that not all the means of production have been privatized, we should attend to the fact that capitalism comes in degrees: countries can be more or

. We will make the argument by analogy by first drawing some lessons about a publicly traded company, eBay. The eBay Analogy Paradigm cases of the “means of production” in Marx’s corpus are land and giant factories billowing smoke. These paradigms are, of course, a function of Marx’s time: they were some

the tens of billions but, like many twenty-first-century companies, most of its value does not lie in the ownership of Marx’s archetypical means of production: billowing factories, large tracts of land, railways, shipping lines, and the like. Accountants make a distinction between tangible and intangible assets. Examples of tangible assets

besides Marx’s archetypical means of production are things like office chairs, computers, vehicles, equipment, and so on. Intangible assets are sometimes referred to as “nonphysical” assets. In saying that they are

. It is not too misleading to summarize this by saying that eBay sells a huge “market of trust” to its customers. So, eBay’s primary means of production is intangible: it is far more abstract than the factory billowing smoke. The temptation to call the goodwill eBay enjoys a nonphysical asset is easy

By “economic policy,” we mean the societal norms that govern economic activity. A radical change in economic policy can result in a

the Lockean argument actually constitutes a defense of capitalism. We noted above that capitalism is often conceived as the idea of private ownership of the means of production along with competitive markets. How are these two ideas connected? Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, in the Lockean tradition there is no direct connection between the right

The second law is not as widely recognized; the law states that the capital-intensive means of production at one stage of technological development become consumer goods at another stage: Second Law of Production: with technological progress, the means of production transform from capital goods to consumer goods over time.

, communists might claim victory since there is no longer exploitation of labor by the capitalist class. On the other, since everyone owns the means of production, capitalists can claim victory—the means of production were not seized by the proletariats, as Marx predicted. In the envisioned future, the working class is absorbed into the capitalist class

any victory that the capitalist might enjoy is entirely pyrrhic.
