I found a much longer version of that classic AI meme.

“And now you have these capitalists, this is their new hoax: they take, they buy a brand new shiny means of production. a bit beautiful new machine. and they have these workers–who are totally not being treated fairly in this county folks, ok. totally exploited–they pay these workers a certain amount. could be 10, could be 20, could be 15. and with their labor they build the product. but the capitalist turns around and sells the product at a huge markup. they call it a profit. and they call it a profit.”
