La fusión del estado y el poder corporativo representa la trayectoria de la corporación: tomar posesión del estado; evitar la rendición de cuentas, la empatía, la transparencia y la agencia (humana); y sustituir (y, en última instancia, eliminar) a la gente. La fusión del estado y la IA corporativa (un estadio final del habla corporativa, del establecimiento de redes de contactos, y de la ontología legal) facilita que la persona corporativa absorba a la persona humana. Rastreo los efectos de ese proceso en la inversión sistémica de las normas. La personalidad corporativa forma parte de un juego de suma cero en el que se despoja al pueblo de derechos, habla, e identidades. Cuando la tecnología de IA se injerta en los sistemas políticos y las redes sociales, las alucinaciones resultantes se convierten en pesadillas. La corporación siempre ha sido un simulacro posthumano de personas, y su IA, al despertar, sueña con borrar por completo a los trabajadores y a la gente.Editorial Universidad de Sevilla2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/185314http://dx.doi.org/10.12795/REN.2025.i29.13reponame:idUS.

I address AI as a manifestation of the corporate form in U.S.culture, and as it relates to the dreams of (or ascribed to) fascism and corporations. The merger of state and corporate power represents the trajectory of the corporation—to take over the state; elide accountability, empathy, transparency and (human) agency; and trade places with (and finally eliminate) people. The merger of state and corporate AI—a final stage of corporate speech, networking, and legalontology—facilitates the takeover of human personhoodby corporate personhood, and I trace the effects of that process in the systemic inversion of norms. Corporate personhood is part of a zero-sum game in which rights, speech, and identities are appropriated from people. When AI technology is grafted onto political systems and social media, the ensuing hallucinations are nightmares.The corporation always has been a posthuman simulacrum of persons, and its AI, in its wake, dreams of eliminating workers and people altogether. |
