AI is a religious icon for capitalist ideologues.

A silicon savior to finally free capital from the dependence on labor with all its pesky demands like sick leave or a living wage.

You can see this in the literal deification going on in VC circles. AGI is the capitalist version of the Second Coming, God coming down to earth to redeem them by finally solving the contradictions in their world view.

Unfortunately for them and fortunately for the rest of us, it's not all they hope it to be.
