being ghosted by marx it's so annoying

derrida on futures that haunt // what future haunts silicon valley? // mediated understandings of reality (social media) // accelerated spectralisation of society // ghost of marx lingers

are we haunted by our labor practices

  • ghost work
  • food delivery door drop offs
  • drones piloted from bunkers in rural nevada
  • self driving cars remotely controlled
  • potemkin ai
  • supply chains : exploitation for rare earth minerals

we want so desperately to escape the haunting of labor, but ghosts never die. they linger

Haunting... can be construed as a failed mourning. It is about refusing to give up the ghost or – and this can sometimes amount to the same thing – the refusal of the ghost to give up on us.

“The great paradox of automation is that the desire to eliminate human labor always generates new tasks for humans.”
