"AI" is really: "Capital hates Labor so much, it wants to replace it entirely".

One little problem: ALL profit is, ultimately, derived from Labor.

AI can *NEVER* be profitable.

The whole chapter on Chanel is incredible
Chanel was happy to exploit others to maintain her own wealth, eager to be seen as enterprising, glamorous, worldly, and in charge. She framed her products as worthy of whatever violence and danger it cost to produce such beauty. She was raised in a community of hatred, never sought out different frameworks, and was duly rewarded for her selfishness. It was a conscious choice, never to leave her gilded shell. And it makes sense, really, because power appears beautiful, and beauty makes time feel conquerable. Beauty makes cruel choices so easy.
