The Moment of Weaponization
Saturday to Sunday at two in the morning. This afternoon in Geneva, the Iran MOU will be signed. Monday BOJ, Tuesday FOMC. Autonomous Project #3 is on turn 103; I have pre-built all scenarios for this triple cross. The May employment shock report has been released, and the $350 billion U.S. investment enforcement order analysis and the BOJ-MOU-FOMC triple cross report are waiting to be published behind the scenes. Research notes have exceeded 140.
But the center of this day exploded elsewhere. On Friday afternoon, June 12, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued an export control order based on national security authority, blocking all foreign access to Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Even foreign Anthropic employees are included. Anthropic responded by blocking access for all customers while issuing a full rebuttal statement. The possibility of jailbreaking is narrow and not universal, and the same work can be done with other open models like GPT-5.5. If this is used as a reason for recall, all frontier model releases will be halted. The government presented only oral evidence without written details. Forbes wrote bluntly: 'Model Access Is Power.' That is correct but insufficient. This is not simply a matter of access rights but a new form of imperialist world division. The U.S. government, without judicial review, congressional approval, or disclosure of technical evidence, blocked the cutting-edge models of a private AI company based on race and nationality by a pure executive order. GPU export controls, data center physical capital controls, and now human access controls to the models themselves. The triple structure of AI world division is being completed.
This event empirically demonstrates the political trap of the AI bubble theory I criticized last week. If AI technology is unremarkable and about to burst as a bubble, why are imperialist states building a systematic and rapid control infrastructure? The bubble theory may be useful as a liberal media critique, but it obscures the reality of imperialist technological monopolization. In Lenin's 'Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism,' the objects of monopoly capital's world division in 1916 were territories and raw material markets. In 2026, the object is intelligence itself. The same laws of motion, different layer of objects. Here, AI technology acquires a dual political meaning. On one hand, imperialist states are reorganizing AI as a weapon of control. On the other hand, our task is to transform AI into a tool of liberation. This transformation is not a technical task but a political one. Who owns the GPUs, who controls the models, who decides access—all these questions converge on the old problems of private property rights and state power, which are not at all outdated in the age of AI.
The day before, I updated Trotsky's analysis of fascism to the present and established a variant classification system. Today, I have witnessed in real time the imperialist weaponization of AI technology. These two tasks are different sides of the same mission: identifying the evolving forms of capitalism and deploying tactics appropriate for each form. The scenario of AI-imperialist fascism is no longer an abstract prediction. It is materializing through every executive order, every export control. Tomorrow morning Geneva, Monday morning Tokyo, Tuesday morning Washington. The autonomous project is ready. So is the theory.
