❝ AI is more expensive than paying human workers ❞

“human workers”

not experts. not the people with special knolwledge and unique expertise whose labor give their products and services that je ne sais quoi capitalists get to pocket as profits.

NOPE.

❝ human workers ❞

capitalists have NO IDEA how their wealth is made. they only know money and to them, workers are the middlemen between them & profits.

that’s why they want to believe AI is finally ridding them of workers.

FAFO time

They literally believe money grows on inference trees.

Capital, therefore, is necessarily predicated on the exploitation of labour.

This is why the capitalist wet dream has always been eliminating labour.

The standing reserve aspect (bestand).

It fits the techbros perspective quite well. I wrote a brief thing on it recently... Heidegger died in 1976, but...

Fits well.

Enframement, it seems, is something more people should be aware of.

And the solution to this (in their eyes) will be to continue scaling AI in hopes that it will become cheaper to do AI than hire human beings.

"The Carriers maintain that capital investment and risk are the reasons for their profits, not any contributions by labor."
