Key points

  • Mistaking work without visible output for work without value is the core error in both Graeber's critique and AI-flattened org fantasies.
  • The adversarial environment of business forces defensive waste that cannot be eliminated unilaterally.
  • Scale creates coordination costs that managers absorb as filters and shock absorbers.
  • AI lowers production costs but shifts bottlenecks to judgment, attention, and trust.
