AI Doesn't Lighten the Burden of Mastery; AI Makes It Easy to Stop Valuing It

'One of the main pillars of the imperial arrangement is that [core states] need to maintain a monopoly over necessary technologies like capital goods, medicines, computers, aircraft and so on. This forces the “Global South” into a position of dependency, so they are forced to export large quantities of their cheapened resources in order to obtain these necessary technologies. This is what sustains the core’s net-appropriation through unequal exchange.'

Wes Kao — How to instantly show your value
Here are my favorite ways to convey a product’s value prop. These apply to products and brands, but feel free to apply this to people too. These work for job interviews, selling yourself as a consultant, etc.

Paolo dos Santos: “Stubborn patterns of underdevelopment and differences in labor productivity, living standards, and political power across national economies, have persisted across the history of capitalist development. For radical political economy, those differences are a feature of global capitalism, not a “bug” due to the idiosyncrasies of developing economies.”

"We argue that a one-dimensional hierarchy of #moral value misses the interconnected webs of nature’s generative forces. More-over, it fails to acknowledge that many entities can express several forms of #value at once. In the case of #SpaceExploration, it misses the important possibility that inanimate entities and extraterrestrial systems can have tremendous moral value; certainly, we have yet to see proof that they don’t."

I have spent a frustrating 'day' reluctantly doing two main tasks:
1/ Purchasing/speccing parts for an experimental electrical build.
2/ Working with the suppliers of a failed piece of electrical hardware to get a warranty replacement commissioned and working as required.
In both cases I have been dealing with Chinese suppliers because the price &/or availability makes them the only real option.
In both cases the documentation is woeful and so I spend too long in back-and-forths. "How do we do x?' 'What is Y?'. 'The old one had these same settings and worked, what is not right here? How can we even tell?'.
This is the price of cheap. It is not because it is Chinese but because it is cheap and that is sadly what we value. Cheaper is not better value.
I am not a coder but I feel this is what coders are worried about with the advent of AI code. Stuff that seems cheaper but is a joyless pain in the butt to maintain & work with.
