The Eye of the Master by Matteo Pasquinelli
4.5 out of 10Algorithms and information networks are common in biological systems. But, according to Pasquinelli, that is not the model for artificial intelligence. His thesis states that machine learning neural networks are a synthesis of social labour. It is an extension of the "mechanization" of human work dating back to the dawn of civilization. Labor has been divided, controlled, and then automated. The market is a social machine. Knowledge is isolated from workers. Labor becomes an abstraction. Corporate governance uses technology to control and reinforce social hierarchies.
