I agree with this take and I mostly agree with hex’s politics, but this is becoming a pet peeve: “destructive optimization of meaningless metrics in service of pleasing an authority distant from material reality” is not “capitalism”. Read “Mao’s Great Famine” if you want to see someone build this exact machine for national and ideological pride rather than profit maximization.
Right now we need to move very far left but we must not delude ourselves that left politics are incorruptible.
