Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this article, taking inspiration from three volumes recently published on the topic, it is argued that in the digital space of neoliberal capitalism a new subjective condition is emerging which can be defined as "algorithmic subjectivity". As many authoritative commentators have already highlighted, one of the fundamental characteristics of neoliberalism is in fact its "constructivist" quality. In contrast to the naturalism of classical liberalism, this 'model' is characterized by political initiatives aimed at producing not only the action of rulers, but also the individual conduct of the governed in line with the needs of the market (Dardot & Laval, 2009) . In the neoliberal project it is therefore not a question of freeing the market from government functions, but rather of orienting these functions towards the active construction of the fundamental conditions for its functioning. In other words, as has been stated countless times, it is not a question of governing the market but of governing for the market. Producing a subjectivity compliant with the new means of digital quality production then becomes an unavoidable challenge for the new post-pandemic neoliberal capitalism.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
