I'm a leftist and I still do consider myself anti AI because its easier to imagine halting AI than it is to imagine abolishing capitalism and corruption. AGI or even ASI in the hands of the people who are currently in control of everything is extremely dangerous. I believe it would lead to a horrible techno feudalistic future filled with mass surveillance. It just seems very hard to imagine reforming entire governments and economic systems before AI becomes powerful enough to become independent of the working class making their power in society weak. I feels easier to just stop AI. And also because I feel like AI is being used to remove people's critical thinking because more educated people are typically left.
That's my thoughts. Tell me if I'm wrong or you disagree.

My stance on AI:

• Ai is a tool not evil or good the people making it are evil though
• AI content needs strict regulating to avoid deep fakes, and protect artists
• AI progress should decelerate or halt completely until we can figure out how to minimize risk of extinction
• AI should be put under strict regulation
• No single private company or preferably no company should own AI
• AI data centers should not be built in areas already in water shortage and better facilities with less effects on the area them

I want to help fight for the working class and for a more socialist government. Is there any particular ways I can especially as a someone no old enough to vote yet?
