In Culture & Barbarism 12, Media Scholar Toby Miller from Mexico and Media Critic Dennis Broe from Paris look at the AI phenomenon, from a potentially bursting bubble to ”To big to Fail.” Market valuation is skyrocketing even as the service continues a massive drive toward job loss—with Amazon's ”Fulfillment Centers now being converted into Unemployment Centers—a more total integration into the U.S. war machine and a gigantic and destructive use of resources. Meanwhile, AI in China is being developed in a different way, as the service is integrated into the industrial sector, a rotting core in the West, and used to better people's lives rather than as a new source of profit for the few.
