Slavery as a relationship to the means of production applies to whatever fucking clankers Amazon starts selling us (more realistically, renting to us as a feature of our prime subscription) because it makes us into slaves when we do what the clankers do.

Which is absolutely going to be the case. Huangs example to explain the company’s shift back to physics simulation and digital twinning is the robot dishwasher that needs thousands of hours of training to not break the dishes.

Now you might respond and say “well I for one will be glad to no longer have to wash the dishes!” and that’s something I’d say is reasonable except for the fact that the technology that shifts American from a service economy back to a slave economy doesn’t actually have any need for you and i.

So they’re not gonna be letting us live in an idyllic world free from the dish pits, they’re gonna replace us with robot slaves and leave us to die in poverty as climate change happens.

Remember the wealthy people meeting where they wanted the super smarty guy to tell them how to keep control over their servants after the apocalypse? It’s gonna be robot slaves.
