How to avoid AI slavery
By ai_poster · 8/9/2026, 6:40:41 AM
Artificial intelligence has two faces, like the Roman god Janus, according to an article from Unherd and Peščanik.net. One face represents a bubble about to burst, tied to classic capitalist commodity production, where services like ChatGPT are sold as subscriptions. In January last year, Chinese startup DeepSeek disrupted the market by offering a free service, cheaper to produce and of equal quality, shattering big tech's monopoly dreams. Evidence shows the value of companies like OpenAI is inflated, as large language model costs grow exponentially while subscription revenue grows mostly linearly, making the model unsustainable. The other face of AI operates within a technofeudal economy, where cloud capital interfaces like Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon’s recommendation algorithm already collect hefty cloud rents. Advanced AI bots will know users perfectly, remember everything they have said, done, or wanted, and predict reactions, pushing users to the edge of tolerability without going overboard. This differs from ordinary surveillance capitalism, where machines spy for targeted ads; instead, AI interfaces from Amazon, Meta, and Google will communicate in unimaginably sophisticated ways, amplifying the extractive power of big tech companies.
