‘Artificial intelligence’ accelerates the commoditization of paid employment.
I show you the driving forces in a long article: http://data.yt/kit/how-ai-works.html
To the extent that health care becomes a commodity it becomes distributed just like champagne. That is rich people get lots of it. Poor people don’t get any of it.

"Technique is no longer some uncertain and incomplete intermediary between humanity and the natural milieu. The latter is totally dominated and utilized (in Western society). Technique now constitutes a fabric of its own, replacing nature."
– Jacques Ellul in “Recherche pour une Ethique dans une société technicienne,” Morale et Enseignement, 1983, page 7

Digital technologies cannot be reclaimed, because they are the fruit of a mass society, of a society of experts, constituted of domination and exploitation, of complex and gigantic infrastructures from which citizens can only be dispossessed."
Julia Laïnae, Nicolas Alep in "Contre l'alternumérisme", 2020
