The ‘Totalitarian Capitalism’ That Big Tech Is Building (Whitney Webb) "In this conversation with Chris Hedges, Whitney Webb argues that the future being built by major technology companies is not simply one of convenience, automation, and artificial intelligence. She describes something much more political: a technologically enforced social order in which private corporate power, government power, artificial intelligence, surveillance, data centers, and centralized infrastructure increasingly merge. Hedges gives this system a name: “totalitarian capitalism.” Webb does not reject the phrase. Instead, she explains why she believes parts of Silicon Valley are moving toward a new form of technologically enforced hierarchy—one she repeatedly compares to neo-feudalism." https://ironcountynews.org/the-totalitarian-capitalism-that-big-tech-is-building-whitney-webb/
