最近学到的新词汇 technofeudalism,翻译为技术封建主义,来自这本书《Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism》
书里的观点很有启发性:
Big tech has replaced capitalism's twin pillars—markets and profit—with its platforms and rents. With every click and scroll, we labor like serfs to increase its power.
大型科技公司用平台和租金(或者说抽佣、服务费等)取代了资本主义的两大支柱:市场和利润。每一次点击和滚动,我们都像农奴一样劳作,以增加这些大公司的权力。
作者用 "封建主义" 和 "农奴" 来形容平台和用户,可能有些小伙伴不理解,这么说吧,封建主义确保农奴别无选择,他们只能为领地工作,他们无法移居到另一个封地,他们必须交出的收成只会使封地领主受益。
这么一看是不是形容很贴切了,就是农奴啊,账号是不通的,数据是不通的,离开一个平台到另一个平台就是从零开始。
Perhaps we were too distracted by the pandemic, or the endless financial crises, or the rise of TikTok. But under cover of them all, a new and more exploitative system has been taking hold. Insane sums of money that were supposed to re-float our economies after the crash of 2008 went to big tech instead. With it they funded the construction of their private cloud fiefdoms and privatized the internet.
一个新的、更具剥削性的制度已经悄悄扎根。2008 年金融危机后,本应重振经济的巨额资金却流向了科技巨头,他们用这些资金资助了私人云封地(private cloud fiefdoms)的建设,并将互联网私有化。
私人云封地和互联网私有化,这两个用词简直神了,描述的不要太准确。
作者认为,技术封建主义是重塑生活和世界的新力量,也是当前对自由主义和民主的最大威胁,同时也是新地缘政治紧张局势的背后原因。
