This is the AI bubble’s end game:
“when AI has infiltrated work processes to the point that exit costs are prohibitive, the customer base will be unable to escape and coerced into paying up. The world will be hooked on AI, and the tech firms will collect handsome profits.”

Of all the reasons to ask for an extension on an assignment, this is a pretty good one.
Canadian figure skater Maddie Schizas posts her email to her prof, asking for an extension.
Because she’s competing at the Olympics. Attached the press release for proof of participation.

Slobodian calls this crack-up capitalism.
Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Conspiracy theory is a caricatured, reductionist way to analyze and narrate power exercised in the material world. Rejecting conspiracy theory does not mean denying the complex, the veiled, or the existence of evil itself.
