Jason Stanley Says Far-Right 'Great Replacement' Fears Mask AI Replacing 22 Human Skills

1 articles · Updated · The Guardian · Oct 6

Jason Stanley argues the far right’s "great replacement" narrative is obscuring a real replacement: human labor and culture being displaced by AI systems.
AfD sits at the center of his case: Stanley says the German far-right party folds AI adoption into its immigration agenda, pairing "remigration" politics with support for AI use by small and midsize firms.
Elon Musk’s backing for AfD and Palantir CEO Alex Karp’s claim that AI could make mass migration unnecessary illustrate, he says, how tech elites and nationalist politics converge around reducing reliance on human workers.
A 22-point Palantir summary of Karp’s book and Silicon Valley interest in transhumanism and "AI successionism" show, in Stanley’s view, a broader ideology that could shift value from human welfare to AI agents.
