> Capital is always searching for ways to overcome barriers to valorization. The
> circulation of money, for instance, allows capital to overcome the temporal
> and spatial barriers inherent in direct exchange. Automation, or what Marx
> called the "automatic mechanism" enables the overcoming of a different
> barrier; it helps "reduce to a minimum the resistance offered by man, that
> obstinate yet elastic natural barrier". Even if we do not go so far as to
> consider the possibility of a capitalism without humans, the notion of
> synthetic automation should remind us that capital is not "exclusively a
> reorganisation of human production" but also a trajectory towards a "radically
> new, alien way of production". The needs of capital are alien to humans and
> only coincide with them accidentally. In a striking and horrific passage, Tony
> Smith puts it admirably: capital is a "higher-order alien power operating at
> the level of society as a whole. It systematically selects for human ends
> compatible with its end, 'the self-valorization of value', and systematically
> represses all human ends that are not compatible with this non-human end". At
> this point, we can only speculate on what new operations of selection and
> repression might be provided to capital by more mature forms of synthetic
> automation. [@steinhoff2021automation, 235]
