And they give you the feeling that you can say, you know, switch off the lights, buy me some milk, order me an electric bicycle for my daughter or my son, and they do it.

And it's great.

Who doesn't like that?

But what is really happening is you're interfacing with what I call the cloud capital of Jeff Bezos of this 0.0001%.

And essentially, that machine...

trains you to train it, to train you better, so that you train it even better, to know you so well that it wins your trust.

And once it has won your trust, then it can direct your choices.

Then, you know, you say, my coffee maker is broken.

What should I buy?

It says this.

And you click on it.

And then the coffee maker comes to you outside any market.

You don't go to a shop to get it.

It comes.

And Jeff Bezos, who's Alexa, has helped you, let's say, in the rest of the commerce, get that coffee maker.

It gets 40%.

40%.

That 40% is a rent that is taken away.

From the laborers that have actually worked to produce the coffee maker, but even from the surplus value of the capitalist that owns the coffee making company.

So, you know, when we have AI that is empowering further and enhancing the control that this 0.001% have over our minds, over our behavior.
