Is there an ai for my needs?

Hi, I'm looking for an ai (or at least a couple of them since there isn't an ai that will solve all of my listed problems) that would be able to do these things:

Gather knowledge, like perplexity, you can chat with it like any other gpt tool, but it's mainly focused on research. (The reason why I don't use perplexity is because of their ridiculous monthly planning.)

Read pdfs and watch videos, like Gemini, it's analysis is good for me but I keep on hitting the limits although I'm a plus user.

Be good for debates, like claude, it should be able to reconstruct the opposing argument whether if its an philosophical one or ideological one, and then steelman the argument. I use Claude combined with consensus pro (I linked the two together) but it just doesn't feel right for some reason (I also fear that I might hit the limit wall more often than I do with gemini)

And most importantly give references and be mostly true, I know that I should fact check each info given on every single ai but it takes a huge amount of time to do that. I will still do it nonetheless but I really want to find am ai that would make it easier to give actual correct info.

Basically I'm looking for an ai that could perform well with gathering Web searches like perplexity (including with its academic and scientific research), talk to me like chatgpt, reason like claude, do video/pdf analyses like gemini and be more likely to be correct like consensus ai. (Again, I know that there won't be one ai to do all of this but I'm still open for suggestions. Thank you.)

Why would a socialist worker ever vote for the future?

Socialist theory rests on the idea that workers should own the fruits of their labor and the means of production. While this sounds morally compelling, it creates a catastrophic failure in capital maintenance and long term investment. Under capitalism, a business owner is willing to suppress their own current consumption, often for decades, to reinvest profits into R&D and infrastructure because they own the underlying asset and its future value. They bear the risk of the "long game."

In any socialist model, whether it is centrally planned or a market of worker cooperatives, the individual worker is only a temporary stakeholder. If the workers in a factory democratically decide how to allocate their surplus, they face a direct conflict between increasing their current take home pay and investing in a machine that might not increase efficiency for another ten years. Since the worker cannot sell their "share" of the factory or take it with them when they retire, they have no rational incentive to prioritize the long term health of the capital over their immediate needs.

This leads to my question. How does socialism solve the problem of systemic under investment and the "tragedy of the commons" regarding capital? If you rely on the state to force investment, you have moved back to a top down command economy where the worker has no real say. If you rely on democratic votes within cooperatives, you are essentially asking people to vote for a pay cut today for a benefit they may never live to see or own. Without the private owner who views the business as a multi generational asset, how do you prevent a socialist economy from slowly consuming its own seed corn and falling into technological decay compared to systems that reward long term capital accumulation?

How do you expand a successful cooperative without recreating wage labor or punishing the founders?

Imagine two people start a manufacturing cooperative. They invest their entire life savings. They work eighty hours a week for four years. They take zero salary and live on bare minimums to get the operation off the ground.

In year five, the facility is finally highly profitable. They are overwhelmed with demand and need to bring on a janitor and a warehouse loader.

​Under a system where private ownership is abolished and workers must collectively own the means of production, how are these new workers integrated? You face three distinct mechanical options. Each one unravels the core premise of workplace democracy.

You give the janitor and the loader an equal 25 percent share of the company and equal voting rights on day one. This mathematically punishes the founders. The founders absorbed massive financial devastation and took 100 percent of the risk for years. The new workers take zero risk and instantly claim half of the established wealth and control. No rational human will ever scale an enterprise or hire new people under these terms. Growth stops.

You force the new workers to purchase their equity share to fairly compensate the founders for the existing capital and machinery. Most working class individuals do not have the cash to buy into a highly profitable enterprise. By requiring a buy in, you lock the poorest and most vulnerable workers out of employment entirely.

You pay the new workers a fixed hourly rate without giving them equity or voting rights until they "earn" it over a period of years. The founders retain control and extract the surplus value of the new workers' labor to recoup their initial investment. You have just reinvented capitalism, wage labor, and the exact hierarchical exploitation socialism claims to dismantle.

If adding a new worker to a successful enterprise either instantly strips the founders of their earned equity, economically locks out poor workers, or deliberately recreates wage labor, how does a socialist economy scale successful businesses beyond the initial founders?
