I don't know why I read articles from Jacobin when they are posted on hacker news. The decision tree in my head goes something like "Well, it's jacobin, so it's either going to say something that sounds witty while completely missing the point or outright be some really stupid marxist BS... But I respect hacker news these guys aren't going to be tricked by stupid marxist BS or not notice that they have completely missed the point..." and then I read the article and every freaking time, you guys have been tricked by sounding witty while completely missing the point!
No, we are not transitioning to silicon serfdom, it's just the same old BS where a monopolist has built or stumbled upon a competitive mote and is rent seeking.
