if you’re wondering why we have to hear from and about this guy constantly it helps to remember that his brother Ari is the chairman of WME which is the merged version of William Morris and Endeavor. It’s the largest media group in the country. One of its clients is the NFL. It owns WWE.

Quote tweeting Piers Morgan: “Forgive me I don't trust you guys to be entirely truthtul given your ongoing ban on international journalists reporting freely in Gaza. Let them in, and then we can discover the real facts about what you have done there.”

It's striking how the essence of capitalism that Marx captured has remained true through today. Its relentless drive to increase productivity both immiserates workers and holds the promise of its transcendence, and this is as true with AI today as it was with the power loom and spinning jenny.
Marx's Grundrisse, Notebook VII:

<The creation of a large quantity of disposable time apart from
necessary labour time for society generally and each of its mem-
bers (i.e. room for the development of the individuals' full pro-
ductive forces, hence those of society also), this creation of not-
labour time appears in the stage of capital, as of all earlier ones,
as not-labour time, free time, for a few. What capital adds is that
it increases the surplus labour time of the mass by all the means of
art and science, because its wealth consists directly in the appro-
priation of surplus labour time; since value directly its purpose,
not use value. It is thus, despite itself, instrumental in creating the
means of social disposable time, in order to reduce labour time
for the whole society to a diminishing minimum, and thus to
free everyone's time for their own development. But its tendency
always, on the one side, to create disposable time, on the other, to
convert it into surplus labour. If it succeeds too well at the first,
then it suffers from surplus production, and then necessary labour
is interrupted, because no surplus labour can be realized by capital.
The more this contradiction develops, the more does it become
evident that the growth of the forces of production can no longer
be bound up with the appropriation of alien labour, but that the
mass of workers must themselves appropriate their own surplus
labour. Once they have done so - and disposable time thereby
ceases to have an antithetical existence - then, on one side,
necessary labour time will be measured by the needs of the social
individual, and, on the other, the, development of the power of
social production will grow so rapidly that, even though produc-
tion is now calculated for the wealth of all, disposable time will
grow for all. For real wealth is the developed productive power
of all individuals. The measure of wealth is then not any longer,
in any way, labour time, but rather disposable time.
