Technofeudalism: What killed capitalism

Technofeudalism is a concept coined by Yanis Varoufakis in his book, where he describes how capitalism is being replaced by a more opaque and unequal system dominated by digital platforms and 'cloud capital.'
The Internet, originally created for military purposes, has now become the central infrastructure of cloud capital, which no longer relies on salaried workers but instead exploits the unpaid labor of billions of people who generate content, data, and attention.
Recent events in the United States highlight how big tech and its leaders are redefining political, economic, and social power, as seen through Silicon Valley technocrats appointed in the Trump administration and antitrust investigations against Microsoft.
Technofeudalism is becoming more relevant as state sovereignty and labor rights are challenged by the rise of this new era of technological accumulation.

Amazon cloud executives share their latest AI strategies, and why choice matters more than owning the top model

Amazon has emphasized customer choice over market dominance with its AI strategy, and has used Bedrock, an AI development tool, that gives access to many models, as its main horse in the AI race.
Amazon still believes that the generative AI market is so big and varied that customers will want more model choices that fit their different needs.
Amazon further leaned into its strategy with new updates for Bedrock, including a marketplace for more than 100 specialized models and a distillation feature.
Companies typically use three or more foundation models in their AI services according to a recent report by Menlo Ventures, making Anthropic, which Menlo Ventures has backed, achieve 24% share in the AI model market this year.
Last year, Amazon created a new artificial general intelligence team under the mandate to build the "most ambitious" large language models, and on Tuesday, it unveiled the early results of that effort with its Nova series.
Amazon's CEO has downplayed any notion of Nova going after competitors and said that he's been surprised by the diversity of models developers use and that Nova is just one of the many options they will have.
Amazon's AI business is 'growing three times faster at its stage of evolution than AWS did itself,' according to Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy.
Rahul Parthak, VP of data and AI, go-to-market, at AWS told BI that Nova's launch was partly driven by customer demand.
Amazon still wants other models to thrive because its goal isn't about beating competitors but offering customers 'the best options,' according to Rahul Parthak.
Amazon's VP of AI and data, Swami Sivasubramanian, said that model choice approach is a 'core construct' of the business.

TikTok's plan to bring social shopping to the US is really starting to pay off

TikTok Shop has crossed $100 million in US sales on Black Friday, as social shopping continues to grow in the US.
Social media companies have been trying to bring social commerce to the US for years, but it is finally paying off with TikTok Shop.
TikTok Shop's official wide launch in the US was in September 2023 and it reported $100 million in US sales on Black Friday 2024.
The company invested heavily in e-commerce over the years and now boasts its own order fulfillment program and hundreds of outside partners.
TikTok wants to replicate the success of its sister app, Douyin, which drives hundreds of billions in sales annually via influencer livestreams.
While TikTok's numbers are comparatively small, the company has made significant progress this year, according to social-commerce executives.
TikTok Shop might be small, but it is a piece of the overall online holiday sales. Total online Black Friday sales in the US hit $10.8 billion this year, a 10% increase from last year according to Adobe Analytics.
About 20% of US e-commerce revenue on Cyber Monday arrived via affiliate or other promotional links, a 7% year-over-year increase from 2023, according to Adobe Analytics. Outside TikTok and affiliate marketing, other influencer-focused platforms are also reporting meaningful sales volume this year.
With TikTok and ByteDance's push into the social commerce category finally paying off, the company is proving that US consumers are willing to adjust shopping habits.
TikTok Shop's success is due to its army of agency partners and livestream coaches that have accelerated the adoption of Shop and flooded its feed with videos of creators promoting goods.
