"As technology erodes the value of human labor, whole industries have begun treating us more like livestock. We are fattened on processed calories, churned through the parasitic healthcare system, and our attention is stripmined by addictive dopamine loops that sell us to advertisers. Financial desperation funnels us into the digital casinos of stocks, options, crypto, and sports books, while the epidemic of loneliness is monetized by algorithmic brothels flooding us with onlyfans and pornography.
Like the surplus horses after the rise of the automobile, today’s surplus humans are being recycled by the capitalist system in a form of livestock economics. We are metaphorically being ground into meat, boiled into glue, and canned into dog food."
If you read the attached post and get to Curtis Yarvin, realize he is the man forming the beliefs of the current administration. His “Dark Enlightenment” favors running the country like a corporation, and most labor for that corporation will soon be nearly free, thanks to AI. They know this. Living in a world of abundance, they only want more, and that more is yours right now. So they need less of you and more of whatever you have.
Early stage capitalism is great. Late stage capitalism is barbaric. AI will take it to another level.
