In the disciplinary societies one was always starting again (from school to the barracks, from the barracks to the factory), while in the societies of control one is never finished with anything—the corporation, the educational system, the armed services being metastable states coexisting in one and the same modulation, like a universal system of deformation.

Postscript on the Societies of Control

Gilles Deleuze

What we call artificial intelligence (Pasquinelli's "eye of the master") lends itself towards intensifying capitalist control over labor and social relations, innovating new forms of discipline and surveillance, and creating new relations that preserve the exploitation necessary to keep things chugging along. Automation doesn't replace workers but "multiplies and governs them anew." And so we are inundated with Potemkin AI (software that relies heavily on human labor but pretends to be powered by sophisticated software).

AI, Slavery, Surveillance, and Capitalism

The extent to which our inner lives are being flattened and made public—meaning less subject to our own control, and more accessible to direct manipulation and censorship by state and quasi-ecclesiastical actors—should give us pause.
