Marxists have the tendency to think that the Venn diagram of "people who have read and understand Marx" and "Marxists" is a circle. There are plenty of AGI evangelists who are smart enough to read Marx, and many of them probably have. The problem is that, being technolibertarians and that, they think Marx is the enemy.

Hi. I am not an evangelist -- I'm quite certain it's going to kill us all! But I would like to think that I'm about the closest thing to an AI booster you might find here, given that I get so much damn utility out of it. I'm interested in reading, I probably read too much! would you like to suggest a book we can discuss next week? I'd be happy to do this with you.
