I can’t remember for sure how capitalism defines labor. I think it’s just an expense. You know, the idea is that if you can buy it for cheaper than you can pay to make it, then you’ll just fire all of your workers and buy the product. Just like that.
That’s why every time there’s a disruptive technology, every company loses its fucking mind. “Oh, I can get AI to code for cheaper than my engineers? Time to get rid of those expenses.”
