Technology such as LLMs is just automation and that’s what the base is, how it is applied within a society is what’s dictated by the uperstructure. Open source LLMs such as DeepSeek are a productive force, and a rare instance where a advanced means of production is directly accessible for proletarian appropriation. It’s a classic base level conflict over the relations of production.
Nah, I don’t think I’m going to take as gospel what a CIA asset say.
Instead, go read Marx to understand the relationship between the technology and the social relations that dictate its use within a society.
I’ve read enough Marx to know the base dictates the shape of the superstructure which includes technology like LLMs.
