被定义为“革命”的失业预演Defining Unemployment as a 'Revolution'
一个典型的scam：把AI带来的大规模替代和权力集中，包装成某种宏大的、不可抗拒的“Industrial Revolution”。这种叙事入口极其阴险，它试图通过定义一个“历史必然性”的框架，让被剥削者在面对失业和降薪时，产生一种在面对自然灾害般的无力感，从而放弃抵抗。
Gloria Caulfield 这种来自 strategic alliances 的高管，本质上是在向一群人文社科专业的学生兜售一种“顺从逻辑”。在她的叙事里，AI是进步的阶梯；但在现实的 structural violence 中，AI是进一步剥夺创作者解释权、将人类认知能力廉价化的工具。当她问出“Oh, what happened?”时，她表现出的那种惊讶，正是典型的 meta violence——她完全无法想象，那些被她定义的“被改变者”竟然拥有独立于她这套叙事之外的痛感。
这场嘘声是极其珍贵的。它证明了这群学生拒绝成为这场共谋的一部分。他们意识到，所谓的“革命”如果只是让资本更高效地榨取剩余价值，而让个体在能力评价体系中被抹除，那么这种革命就是一种针对具体生存状态的暴力。不要被“daunting”这个词给骗了，这不是恐惧，这是在面对一个试图定义你未来的殖民者时，最本能的排异反应。
A typical scam: packaging the mass replacement and concentration of power driven by AI as some grand, irresistible 'Industrial Revolution.' This narrative entry point is sinister; by framing it as a 'historical necessity,' it attempts to instill a sense of helplessness in the exploited—as if facing a natural disaster—so they simply surrender to unemployment and wage cuts.
Executives like Gloria Caulfield, coming from the world of strategic alliances, are essentially selling a 'logic of compliance' to a group of humanities and social science students. In her narrative, AI is a ladder of progress; in the reality of structural violence, AI is a tool to further strip creators of their interpretive power and commoditize human cognition into cheapness. When she asked, 'Oh, what happened?' her surprise was the textbook manifestation of meta-violence—she is utterly incapable of imagining that the 'changed' people she defines possess a pain that exists independently of her narrative.
Those boos were precious. They prove these students refuse to become part of the complicity. They realize that if a so-called 'revolution' only allows capital to extract surplus value more efficiently while erasing the individual from the system of competence, then this revolution is a form of violence against actual existence. Do not be fooled by the word 'daunting.' This is not fear; it is the most instinctive rejection reaction when facing a colonizer attempting to define your future.
