Sant Jordi: Black Friday a la catalana (versió flor, drac i senyera) Sant Jordi ens arriba, disfressat de festa gran, però sota la senyera, el negoci mana i comanda. El centre de Barcelona sembla una riuada: llibreries ambulants, roses a cada cantonada. “Comprem cultura!”, criden, amb veu d’oferta especial, però la cultura, sovint, ve empaquetada amb plàstic banal. Llibres apilats, comprats per compromís, i editors brindant amb cava, pels beneficis. Roses de Kenya, Colòmbia, de quilòmetre mil, amb més emissions que un rally Dakar, i cap rastre humil. Aigua robada de camps llunyans, pesticides a dojo, i aquí, ens omplim la boca de “sostenibilitat”, mentre l’entorn paga el cost amb silenci i rebot. No hi ha festa sense deixalla: el terra ple de plàstics, tiges mortes, papers de colors, i el planeta —com sempre— sense veu ni dret a plors. Grup Planeta, gran drac d’escates d’or, fa la millor collita de l’any en un sol jorn. Els autors, il·...

AI and the Future of Humanity: Digital Gulag or Star Trek? In the twilight of the industrial age and the dawn of algorithmic capitalism, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges not merely as a technological leap, but as a class weapon —a continuation of age-old structures of domination in digital form. The question is no longer whether AI will reshape society, but whether it will deepen our servitude or liberate our potential. Welcome to the frontier where neoliberalism meets the new latifundium: a digital plantation owned by a transnational techno-bourgeoisie , cultivated by gig workers and populated by datasets extracted from every facet of our lives. The New Latifundium: Digital Serfs and Algorithmic Lords The term latifundist , evoking vast estates of feudal power, finds new relevance in today’s AI economy. The data estates of Silicon Valley and Shenzhen are the new latifundia, run by a digital aristocracy —corporate overlords like ...
