Of all the books you’ve mentioned, personally I only read Meiksins Wood’s book but I will say I enjoyed reading it and got a lot out of it. I do jive with her approach that “capitalism” begins when you have a certain set of social relations. It really helps differentiate when you have simple markets and when you have capitalist production.

I think on some level Americans know that AI will only be used to replace their jobs and increase profits for capital.

I once rented an apartment where within the one bathroom, the shower and sink were behind one door, and then the “front” area had a toilet at a second sink. That way when you have guests over they don’t have to wash their hands around or even see any of your personal hygiene items. I think this is an absolutely brilliant design idea and an actual good use of a second sink if you only have one bathroom, but I have yet to see this design anywhere else.
