i keep bringing this up: capitalism cannot exist without slaves --and that includes the financially indentured. since capitalists main purpose is to maximize wealth extraction from other people's labor, their relationship to workers is parasitic. slavery is the most parasitic form of wealth extraction.
so it's logical that capitalists want robots --and by extension AI-- as proxies for slave labor.
not a coincidence as layoffs were "necessary", capitalists intensified the AI hype
