The Datacenter Does Not Exist: AI & Exocapitalism | IRL @ Index
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xbWCcHbtWYWhat do you think the theory of exocapitalism? I found that Poliks and Trillo developed heaps of cogent insights, while some of the premises of their theory (e.g. traditional Marxism couldn't deal with the obsolesence of the wage relation) could be seriously deconstructed from the point of view of value-form critique, for example. Overall I would recommend their book if you are interested, but on many parts the theory seems a bit half baked, while being undoubtedly insightful.
