I generally agree with all of this where we are now, especially the last part in regards to organizing.

I'm imagining that there are two concurrent timelines, one where machine learning and related technology continues to develop at an increasingly rapid pace, and another where westerners are under the heel of capitalism, increasingly desperate for change, but more or less alienated from revolutionary theory and practices due to their settler/colonial/fascist base ideologies preventing them from accepting the solutions to their problems.

Playing out that scenario, I could foresee a time where the technology (all machine learning, neural networks, "AI," and not LLMs particularly) has advanced to a point that it is more useful than the average American leftist in finding solutions to American problems, because American leftists are inhibited by the aforementioned ideologies and show no signs of letting them go. Many are doubling down these days.

Even now, the most talented organizers I know are mostly bogged down by the reproductive labor of keeping organizations afloat, and if even a third of that could be offloaded to machines and just touched up by the humans, it would save hundreds of hours a year that could go back into human to human interactions
