Podcasting “Capitalists Hate Capitalism”

I'm touring my new, nationally bestselling novel The Bezzle! Catch me in Torino (Apr 21) Marin County (Apr 27), Winnipeg (May 2), Calgary (May 3), Vancouver (May 4), and beyond!

This week on my podcast, I read "Capitalists Hate Capitalism," my latest column for Locus Magazine:

https://locusmag.com/2024/03/cory-doctorow-capitalists-hate-capitalism/

What do I mean by "capitalists hate capitalism?" It all comes down to the difference between "profits" and "rents." A capitalist takes capital (money, or the things you can buy with it) and combines it with employees' labor, and generates profits (the capitalist's share) and wages (the workers' share).

Rents, meanwhile, come from owning an asset that capitalists need to generate profits. For example, a landlord who rents a storefront to a coffee shop extracts rent from the capitalist who owns the coffee shop. Meanwhile, the capitalist who owns the cafe extracts profits from the baristas' labor.

Capitalists' founding philosophers like Adam Smith hated rents. Worse: rents were the most important source of income at the time of capitalism's founding. Feudal lords owned great swathes of land, and there were armies of serfs who were bound to that land – it was illegal for them to leave it. The serfs owed rent to lords, and so they worked the land in order grow crops and raise livestock that they handed over the to lord as rent for the land they weren't allowed to leave.

Capitalists, meanwhile, wanted to turn that land into grazing territory for sheep as a source of wool for the "dark, Satanic mills" of the industrial revolution. They wanted the serfs to be kicked off their land so that they would become "free labor" that could be hired to work in those factories.

For the founders of capitalism, a "free market" wasn't free from regulation, it was free from rents, and "free labor" came from workers who were free to leave the estates where they were born – but also free to starve unless they took a job with the capitalists.

For capitalism's philosophers, free markets and free labor weren't just a source of profits, they were also a source of virtue. Capitalists – unlike lords – had to worry about competition from one another. They had to make better goods at lower prices, lest their customers take their business elsewhere; and they had to offer higher pay and better conditions, lest their "free labor" take a job elsewhere.

This means that capitalists are haunted by the fear of losing everything, and that fear acts as a goad, driving them to find ways to make everything better for everyone: better, cheaper products that benefit shoppers; and better-paid, safer jobs that benefit workers. For Smith, capitalism is alchemy, a philosopher's stone that transforms the base metal of greed into the gold of public spiritedness.

By contrast, rentiers are insulated from competition. Their workers are bound to the land, and must toil to pay the rent no matter whether they are treated well or abused. The rent rolls in reliably, without the lord having to invest in new, better ways to bring in the harvest. It's a good life (for the lord).

Think of that coffee-shop again: if a better cafe opens across the street, the owner can lose it all, as their customers and workers switch allegiance. But for the landlord, the failure of his capitalist tenant is a feature, not a bug. Once the cafe goes bust, the landlord gets a newly vacant storefront on the same block as the hot new coffee shop that can be rented out at even higher rates to another capitalist who tries his luck.

The industrial revolution wasn't just the triumph of automation over craft processes, nor the triumph of factory owners over weavers. It was also the triumph of profits over rents. The transformation of hereditary estates worked by serfs into part of the supply chain for textile mills was attended by – and contributed to – the political ascendancy of capitalists over rentiers.

Now, obviously, capitalism didn't end rents – just as feudalism didn't require the total absence of profits. Under feudalism, capitalists still extracted profits from capital and labor; and under capitalism, rentiers still extracted rents from assets that capitalists and workers paid them to use.

The difference comes in the way that conflicts between profits and rents were resolved. Feudalism is a system where rents triumph over profits, and capitalism is a system where profits triumph over rents.

It's conflict that tells you what really matters. You love your family, but they drive you crazy. If you side with your family over your friends – even when your friends might be right and your family's probably wrong – then you value your family more than your friends. That doesn't mean you don't value your friends – it means that you value them less than your family.

Conflict is a reliable way to know whether or not you're a leftist. As Steven Brust says, the way to distinguish a leftist is to ask "What's more important, human rights, or property rights?" If you answer "Property rights are human right," you're not a leftist. Leftists don't necessarily oppose all property rights – they just think they're less important than human rights.

Think of conflicts between property rights and human rights: the grocer who deliberately renders leftover food inedible before putting it in the dumpster to ensure that hungry people can't eat it, or the landlord who keeps an apartment empty while a homeless person freezes to death on its doorstep. You don't have to say "No one can own food or a home" to say, "in these cases, property rights are interfering with human rights, so they should be overridden." For leftists property rights can be a means to human rights (like revolutionary land reformers who give peasants title to the lands they work), but where property rights interfere with human rights, they are set aside.

In his 2023 book Technofeudalism, Yanis Varoufakis claims that capitalism has given way to a new feudalism – that capitalism was a transitional phase between feudalism…and feudalism:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/28/cloudalists/#cloud-capital

Varoufakis's point isn't that capitalists have gone extinct. Rather, it's that today, conflicts between capital and assets – between rents and profits – reliably end with a victory of rent over profit.

Think of Amazon: the "everything store" appears to be a vast bazaar, a flea-market whose stalls are all operated by independent capitalists who decide what to sell, how to price it, and then compete to tempt shoppers. In reality, though, the whole system is owned by a single feudalist, who extracts 51% from every dollar those merchants take in, and decides who can sell, and what they can sell, and at what price, and whether anyone can even see it:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/01/managerial-discretion/#junk-fees

Or consider the patent trolls of the Eastern District of Texas. These "companies" are invisible and produce nothing. They consist solely of a serviced mailbox in a dusty, uninhabited office-building, and an overbroad patent (say, a patent on "tapping on a screen with your finger") issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office. These companies extract hundreds of millions of dollars from Apple, Google, Samsung for violating these patents. In other words, the government steps in and takes vast profits generated through productive activity by companies that make phones, and turns that money over as rent paid to unproductive companies whose sole "product" is lawsuits. It's the triumph of rent over profit.

Capitalists hate capitalism. All capitalists would rather extract rents than profits, because rents are insulated from competition. The merchants who sell on Jeff Bezos's Amazon (or open a cafe in a landlord's storefront, or license a foolish smartphone patent) bear all the risk. The landlords – of Amazon, the storefront, or the patent – get paid whether or not that risk pays off.

This is why Google, Apple and Samsung also have vast digital estates that they rent out to capitalists – everything from app stores to patent portfolios. They would much rather be in the business of renting things out to capitalists than competing with capitalists.

Hence that famous Adam Smith quote: "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices." This is literally what Google and Meta do:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Blue

And it's what Apple and Google do:

https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/27/23934961/google-antitrust-trial-defaults-search-deal-26-3-billion

Why compete with one another when you can collude, like feudal lords with adjacent estates who trust one another to return any serf they catch trying to sneak away in the dead of night?

Because of course, it's not just "free markets" that have been captured by rents ("Competition is for losers" -P. Thiel) – it's also "free labor." For years, the largest tech and entertainment companies in America illegally colluded on a "no poach" agreement not to hire one-anothers' employees:

https://techcrunch.com/2015/09/03/apple-google-other-silicon-valley-tech-giants-ordered-to-pay-415m-in-no-poaching-suit/

These companies were bitter competitors – as were these sectors. Even as Big Content was lobbying for farcical copyright law expansions and vowing to capture Big Tech, all these companies on both sides were able to set aside their differences and collude to bind their free workers to their estates and end the "wasteful competition" to secure their labor.

Of course, this is even more pronounced at the bottom of the labor market, where noncompete "agreements" are the norm. The median American worker bound by a noncompete is a fast-food worker whose employer can wield the power of the state to prevent that worker from leaving behind the Wendy's cash-register to make $0.25/hour more at the McDonald's fry trap across the street:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/02/its-the-economy-stupid/#neofeudal

Employers defend this as necessary to secure their investment in training their workers and to ensure the integrity of their trade secrets. But why should their investments be protected? Capitalism is about risk, and the fear that accompanies risk – fear that drives capitalists to innovate, which creates the public benefit that is the moral justification for capitalism.

Capitalists hate capitalism. They don't want free labor – they want labor bound to the land. Capitalists benefit from free labor: if you have a better company, you can tempt away the best workers and cause your inferior rival to fail. But feudalists benefit from un-free labor, from tricks like "bondage fees" that force workers to pay in order to quit their jobs:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/21/bondage-fees/#doorman-building

Companies like Petsmart use "training repayment agreement provisions" (TRAPs) to keep low-waged workers from leaving for better employers. Petsmart says it costs $5,500 to train a pet-groomer, and if that worker is fired, laid off, or quits less than two years, they have to pay that amount to Petsmart:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/08/04/its-a-trap/#a-little-on-the-nose

Now, Petsmart is full of shit here. The "four-week training course" Petsmart claims is worth $5,500 actually only lasts for three weeks. What's more, the "training" consists of sweeping the floor and doing other low-level chores for three weeks, without pay.

But even if Petsmart were to give $5,500 worth of training to every pet-groomer, this would still be bullshit. Why should the worker bear the risk of Petsmart making a bad investment in their training? Under capitalism, risks justify rewards. Petsmart's argument for charging $50 to groom your dog and paying the groomer $15 for the job is that they took $35 worth of risk. But some of that risk is being borne by the worker – they're the ones footing the bill for the training.

For Petsmart – as for all feudalists – a worker (with all the attendant risks) can be turned into an asset, something that isn't subject to competition. Petsmart doesn't have to retain workers through superior pay and conditions – they can use the state's contract-enforcement mechanism instead.

Capitalists hate capitalism, but they love feudalism. Sure, they dress this up by claiming that governmental de-risking spurs investment: "Who would pay to train a pet-groomer if that worker could walk out the next day and shave dogs for some competing shop?"

But this is obvious nonsense. Think of Silicon Valley: high tech is the most "IP-intensive" of all industries, the sector that has had to compete most fiercely for skilled labor. And yet, Silicon Valley is in California, where noncompetes are illegal. Every single successful Silicon Valley company has thrived in an environment in which their skilled workers can walk out the door at any time and take a job with a rival company.

There's no indication that the risk of free labor prevents investment. Think of AI, the biggest investment bubble in human history. All the major AI companies are in jurisdictions where noncompetes are illegal. Anthropic – OpenAI's most serious competitor – was founded by a sister/brother team who quit senior roles at OpenAI and founded a direct competitor. No one can claim with a straight face that OpenAI is now unable to raise capital on favorable terms.

What's more, when OpenAI founder Sam Altman was forced out by his board, Microsoft offered to hire him – and 700 other OpenAI personnel – to found an OpenAI competitor. When Altman returned to the company, Microsoft invested more money in OpenAI, despite their intimate understanding that anyone could hire away the company's founder and all of its top technical staff at any time.

The idea that the departure of the Burger King trade secrets locked up in its workers' heads constitute more of a risk to the ability to operate a hamburger restaurant than the departure of the entire technical staff of OpenAI is obvious nonsense. Noncompetes aren't a way to make it possible to run a business – they're a way to make it easy to run a business, by eliminating competition and pushing the risk onto employees.

Because capitalists hate capitalism. And who can blame them? Who wouldn't prefer a life with less risk to one where you have to constantly look over your shoulder for competitors who've found a way to make a superior offer to your customers and workers?

This is why businesses are so excited about securing "IP" – that is, a government-backed right to control your workers, customers, competitors or critics:

https://locusmag.com/2020/09/cory-doctorow-ip/

The argument for every IP right expansion is the same: "Who would invest in creating something new without the assurance that some­one else wouldn’t copy and improve on it and put them out of business?"

That was the argument raised five years ago, during the (mercifully brief) mania for genre writers seeking trademarks on common tropes. There was the romance writer who got a trademark on the word "cocky" in book titles:

https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/16/17566276/cockygate-amazon-kindle-unlimited-algorithm-self-published-romance-novel-cabal

And the fantasy writer who wanted a trademark on "dragon slayer" in fantasy novel titles:

https://memex.craphound.com/2018/06/14/son-of-cocky-a-writer-is-trying-to-trademark-dragon-slayer-for-fantasy-novels/

Who subsequently sought a trademark on any book cover featuring a person holding a weapon:

https://memex.craphound.com/2018/07/19/trademark-troll-who-claims-to-own-dragon-slayer-now-wants-exclusive-rights-to-book-covers-where-someone-is-holding-a-weapon/

For these would-be rentiers, the logic was the same: "Why would I write a book about a dragon-slayer if I could lose readers to someone else who writes a book about dragon-slayers?"

In these cases, the USPTO denied or rescinded its trademarks. Profits triumphed over rents. But increasingly, rents are triumphing over profits, and rent-extraction is celebrated as "smart business," while profits are for suckers, only slightly preferable to "wages" (the worst way to get paid under both capitalism and feudalism).

That's what's behind all the talk about "passive income" – that's just a euphemism for "rent." It's what Douglas Rushkoff is referring to in Survival of the Richest when he talks about the wealthy wanting to "go meta":

https://pluralistic.net/2022/09/13/collapse-porn/#collapse-porn

Don't drive a cab – go meta and buy a medallion. Don't buy a medallion, go meta and found Uber. Don't found Uber, go meta and invest in Uber. Don't invest in Uber, go meta and buy options on Uber stock. Don't buy Uber stock options, go meta and buy derivatives of options on Uber stock.

"Going meta" means distancing yourself from capitalism – from income derived from profits, from competition, from risk – and cozying up to feudalism.

Capitalists have always hated capitalism. The owners of the dark Satanic mills wanted peasants turned off the land and converted into "free labor" – but they also kidnapped Napoleonic war-orphans and indentured them to ten-year terms of service, which was all you could get out of a child's body before it was ruined for further work:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/26/enochs-hammer/#thats-fronkonsteen

When Varoufakis says we've entered a new feudal age, he doesn't mean that we've abolished capitalism. He means that – for the first time in centuries – when rents go to war against profits – the rents almost always emerge victorious.

Please, I'm begging y'all. For your own good, you must develop some kind of interest or hobby that does not require a screen. Or even better, electricity. Reading is the easiest one, but drawing, knitting, crochet, ANYTHING. Even just the ability to be entertained with your own thoughts as you clean something.

Because I just went through a 5 hour nighttime power outage with my 62 year old TV/Facebook Games addicted mom...and it was like watching an industrial farmed chicken make circles in its 1 sqft cage. She wouldn't read the newspaper, wouldn't even thumb through my magazines or hoard of art books. She literally stared at the ceiling while making random noises every 45 seconds and repeating nonsense questions to the cat. It was like an engine sputtering out because the fuel flow stopped.

If you need constant, automated outside stimulus in order to be happy, or even base level content, you have a problem.

Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman sign agreement to manufacture F-35 core fuselages in Germany

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 02/17/23 - 14:00 in Military

Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman signed a letter of intent with Rheinmetall AG as a promising strategic source of supply for the F-35 central fuselage in Germany.

This potential partnership would establish a second integrated assembly line of the central fuselage (IAL) of the F-35 in Germany, expanding the significant role that European industry plays in the F-35 program.

“Lockheed Martin has been a committed partner with Germany for more than 50 years. The F-35 program will continue to strengthen our strategic partnerships with key industry partners in the coming years," said Mike Shoemaker, Vice President of F-35 Customer Programs at Lockheed Martin. "The production of the central fuselage of the F-35 in Germany will be vital to meet the growing global demand for F-35s, which play a vital role in the security of the 21st century."

Northrop Grumman is the main partner of the Lockheed Martin F-35 program. In addition to manufacturing the central jet fuselage and wing coatings, the company is also responsible for the development, production and maintenance of sensor, avian and aircraft systems and training software.

"The central fuselage IAL is recognized as a state-of-the-art installation supported by Northrop Grumman's unique technologies, combining automation with our experience in aerospace tools," said Glenn Masukawa, vice president and manager of Northrop Grumman's F-35 program. "The involvement with Rheinmetall demonstrates our commitment to collaborate with international partners to manufacture advanced aircraft."

The F-35 program continues to develop these partnerships, using companies with the right technical capabilities. The German industry has contributed to the F-35 program since its inception in 2001. Lockheed Martin continues to actively explore additional opportunities for industrial participation that will allow partnerships throughout the German industry and create jobs in the manufacture, maintenance, training, research and development of 5th generation fighter aircraft.

Cooperation with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman in the F-35 program highlights the importance of Rheinmetall for national security policy and will bring essential capabilities to Germany. Rheinmetall can contribute its experience as an integrated technology group in the production of complex components and as an aviation certified company for cooperation.

"The long-standing partnership between Lockheed Martin and Rheinmetall, as well as the very close ties that have existed for decades between the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) and our company, lead to a genuine transfer of know-how to Germany as a localized industry," said Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall AG. "In addition, this configuration contributes significantly to minimizing risk, bringing national partners who are involved in a proven way."

To date, the F-35 operates from 37 bases and ships around the world, with nine nations operating F-35s on its territory. There are more than 890 F-35s in service today, with more than 1,890 pilots and 13,570 maintainers trained in the aircraft.

Y'all started getting worked up about and arguing for this relating to like, racism and the fey and fucking rabies or whatever.

You guys. Y'all. You can read the essay in English translation and you're all trying to make definitive arguments about a small speculative footnote identifying an underlying cause.

不気味の谷現象 bukimi no tani genshō is a concept coined by a Japanese ROBOTICS PROFESSOR Masahiro Mori in 1970. To discuss how we feel about anthropomorphized constructs like robots or prosthetics, but can also apply to like, dolls!

It's translated as uncanny valley in English.

This is a hypothesis from a robotics professor about artificial constructs.

It begins:

A Valley in One's Sense of Affinity

The mathematical term monotonically increasing function describes a relation in which the function y = ƒ(x) increases continuously with the variable x. For example, as effort x grows, income y increases, or as a car's accelerator is pressed, the car moves faster. This kind of relation is ubiquitous and very easily understood. In fact, because such monotonically increasing functions cover most phenomena of everyday life, people may fall under the illusion that they represent all relations. Also attesting to this false impression is the fact that many people struggle through life by persistently pushing without understanding the effectiveness of pulling back. That is why people usually are puzzled when faced with some phenomenon this function cannot represent.

An example of a function that does not increase continuously is climbing a mountain—the relation between the distance ( x) a hiker has traveled toward the summit and the hiker's altitude (y)—owing to the intervening hills and valleys. I have noticed that, in climbing toward the goal of making robots appear human, our affinity for them increases until we come to a valley (Figure 1), which I call the uncanny valley.

Figure 1. The graph depicts the uncanny valley, the proposed relation between the human likeness of an entity and the perceiver's affinity for it. [ Translators' note: Bunraku is a traditional Japanese form of musical puppet theater dating from the 17th century. The puppets range in size but are typically about a meter in height, dressed in elaborate costumes, and controlled by three puppeteers obscured only by their black robes. An example is shown on the cover of Robotics & Automation Magazine, above.]

To be completely clear: the uncanny valley is about human made constructs.

In images, this is the uncanny valley:

(that last one is Masahiro Mori, representing a human being.)

Industrial robots - function prioritized over appearing humanoid, therefore lesser affinity to the object

Toy robot 🤖: appearance takes greater importance to appeal to children, and may begin to look anthropomorphized to encourage affinity with the object.

Prosthetic hand — quoting here at length: "Many of our readers have experience interacting with persons with physical disabilities, and all must have felt sympathy for those missing a hand or leg and wearing a prosthetic limb. Recently, owing to great advances in fabrication technology, we cannot distinguish at a glance a prosthetic hand from a real one. Some models simulate wrinkles, veins, fingernails, and even fingerprints. Though similar to a real hand, the prosthetic hand's color is pinker, as if it had just come out of the bath. One might say that the prosthetic hand has achieved a degree of resemblance to the human form, perhaps on a par with false teeth. However, when we realize the hand, which at first sight looked real, is in fact artificial, we experience an eerie sensation. For example, we could be startled during a handshake by its limp boneless grip together with its texture and coldness. When this happens, we lose our sense of affinity, and the hand becomes uncanny."

Bunraku puppets: "I don't think that, on close inspection, a bunraku puppet appears very similar to a human being. Its realism in terms of size, skin texture, and so on, does not even reach that of a realistic prosthetic hand." However, he points out that the audience develops a sense of affinity for the bunraku puppets by ignoring its actual size and instead focusing on its movement that appears more human (hand and eye movement, as well as the head, etc.) basically we can all see the puppet clearly cannot be human and we know it isn't alive, but its human-like movement and general appearance increases our affinity to it. We might, however, be uncomfortable with the contrast between humanoid movement and definitely not human nature.

Then he brings in the concept of movement into the uncanny valley:

Got it?

A zombie is the bottom of the uncanny valley because it has the most human likeness but the least human affinity AND it moves.

Hyperrealistic robots are creepy especially due to their movement.

The whole point:

We hope to design and build robots and prosthetic hands that will not fall into the uncanny valley. Thus, because of the risk inherent in trying to increase their degree of human likeness to scale the second peak, I recommend that designers instead take the first peak as their goal, which results in a moderate degree of human likeness and a considerable sense of affinity. In fact, I predict it is possible to create a safe level of affinity by deliberately pursuing a nonhuman design. I ask designers to ponder this. To illustrate the principle, consider eyeglasses. Eyeglasses do not resemble real eyeballs, but one could say that their design has created a charming pair of new eyes. So we should follow the same principle in designing prosthetic hands. In doing so, instead of pitiful looking realistic hands, stylish ones would likely become fashionable.

The only time he suggests evolutionary purpose is SPECIFICALLY in relation to the sensation of eerieness in response to movement vs non movement (contrasting with appearance).

His footnote:

The sense of eeriness is probably a form of instinct that protects us from proximal, rather than distal, sources of danger. Proximal sources of danger are corpses, members of different species, and other entities we can closely approach. Distal sources of danger include windstorms and floods.

This is such a broad statement that like, yes sure, humans are creeped out by people who are blatantly rabid. It is not about neanderthals specifically, one way or the other.

The most definitive thing he is claiming is honestly that we think corpses are eerie because we have an evolutionary reason to want to avoid also being dead.

The biology major is right. It's corpses. It's in the essay about the uncanny valley. It could maybe also be rabid humanoids and animals but it's definitely corpses.

It has nothing to do with racism or neanderthals really. It is related to disability and ableism insofar as the goal of the essay is to argue for the creation of prosthetics that increase a sense of human affinity (both for the user and society) rather than just try to perfectly replicate human flesh.

Strategies for a Profitable Cryptocurrency Betting

Many aspects of modern life have undergone significant shifts since the Rai88 start of cryptocurrencies including how individuals invest and simply pass the time.

The gaming industry has been one of the most seriously influenced by this age of technology among many other businesses. Bitcoin and a variety of other digital assets are transforming traditional gambling which was formerly dominated by land-based casinos and regulated online platforms.

According to Casino Life Magazine, cryptocurrencies have substantially become a substitute payment method. Online transactions especially in gambling have found digital currencies to be an appealing alternative due to their nature and safety features.

A new concept blends the thrill of gaming with blockchain technology that emerged from the union of digital currency and online casinos.

Below is a thorough guide on how to use cryptocurrencies for gaming in an efficient manner.

Privacy and Security

One of the appeals of cryptocurrencies for gamblers is the security they offer. Significant personal information is frequently required from conventional online casinos to verify accounts and process withdrawals.

On the other hand, cryptocurrency transactions are anonymous and require very little personal information. Those who value safety and confidentiality may find this anonymity particularly captivating.

Gamers can wager with cryptocurrency without giving out private information, lowering the possibility of fraud and stolen identities. This anonymity is especially important in places where gambling is strictly regulated or restricted. Players can engage in concealed internet gambling without bringing attention to themselves.

Quick and Affordable Transactions

Online gamblers may find traditional banking methods to be costly as they frequently include delays and significant fees. Meanwhile, transactions in different gambling websites like CasinoBonusCA using cryptocurrencies are usually cheaper and faster. Transfers between peers made possible by blockchain technology allow for faster deposits and payouts. This effectiveness is particularly relevant in the quick-paced world of internet gaming.

For example, because of processing delays and bank closures, funding an online casino account with a credit card or bank transfer may take several days. On the contrary, players can virtually access their funds in an instant because of the continuous processing of cryptocurrency transactions.

Reduced transaction costs also allow players to keep a larger portion of their earnings, increasing the total earnings of their gaming.

Accessibility and Availability

Cryptocurrencies run on an autonomous system and have no geographical boundaries. With the help of this function, users can access online gaming sites that accept virtual currency from anywhere in the globe. Digital currency unlocks doors to a global assortment of gambling choices regardless of whether you're in a country with restricted gambling regulations or are just looking for a variety of games to play.

Various games or betting possibilities may not be available on traditional gambling platforms due to local restrictions on access. Such barriers are greatly diminished by cryptocurrencies allowing users to access more kinds of platforms and games. Due to its worldwide reach, gamers can now take part in international championships and tournaments which ups the stakes with potential profits.

Bets Using Tokenized Assets

Tokenized goods and smart contracts which are being used increasingly in the gaming industry are two examples of novel uses for blockchain technology. Tokenized investments allow for unique betting chances by digitally representing real-world things or assets.

For example, platforms enable users to wager with Bitcoin on the results of actual events; this is made possible through smart contracts that automate payout arrangements according to specified factors.

Transforming Injection Molding with Side Entry IML Robots: The Future of Precision and Efficiency

In today's fast-paced manufacturing industry, automation plays a crucial role in optimizing production, reducing costs, and improving product quality. One area where automation has made a significant impact is in injection molding, particularly with the integration of Side Entry IML Robots. These advanced robots, like those offered by Deltastark, have revolutionized the way labels are applied during the injection molding process, ensuring greater precision, speed, and efficiency.

In this blog, we’ll explore how side entry IML robots work, their key advantages, and why they are becoming an essential part of modern manufacturing.

What Are Side Entry IML Robots?

Side entry IML robots are specialized automation systems designed to insert pre-printed labels into the mold cavity during the injection molding process. Unlike traditional robots that enter from the top or bottom, these robots approach the mold from the side, allowing for faster cycle times and more efficient label placement. Once the label is securely placed, molten plastic is injected into the mold, bonding the label permanently to the product surface.

This technology is ideal for industries that require high-quality, durable labeling, such as the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods sectors.

How Do Side Entry IML Robots Work?

The operation of side entry IML robots is highly sophisticated yet efficient. Here's a breakdown of the process:

Label Placement The robot picks up the label from a magazine and positions it precisely within the mold cavity, ensuring accurate alignment.

Injection Molding Once the label is in place, the injection molding machine injects molten plastic into the mold. The label becomes an integral part of the product as the plastic hardens.

Product Ejection After the product is formed and cooled, the robot assists in ejecting the finished product from the mold, ensuring a smooth, automated workflow.

This seamless integration between robot and injection molding machine results in high-quality products with securely embedded labels.

Key Advantages of Side Entry IML Robots

Enhanced Precision and Speed One of the most significant benefits of side entry IML robots is their precision. These robots are programmed to place labels with extreme accuracy, ensuring perfect positioning every time. This level of precision reduces the risk of label misalignment, improving the overall appearance and quality of the finished product.Additionally, the side entry design allows for faster cycle times compared to top or bottom entry robots. This is particularly beneficial in high-volume production environments where every second counts.

Increased Production Efficiency By automating the labeling process, side entry IML robots significantly boost production efficiency. The combination of faster cycle times and precise label placement means that more products can be manufactured in a shorter amount of time. This leads to higher output, lower labor costs, and improved profitability.

Consistency and Reliability One of the challenges of manual or semi-automated labeling is the potential for inconsistency in label placement. With side entry IML robots, this concern is eliminated. The robots perform the same task repeatedly with consistent accuracy, ensuring uniformity across all products. This consistency is critical for maintaining brand identity and meeting industry standards.

Cost Savings Although the initial investment in side entry IML robots may be higher, the long-term savings far outweigh the costs. By reducing the need for manual labor, minimizing errors, and increasing production speed, these robots help lower operational costs over time. Additionally, fewer rejected products due to labeling errors mean less waste, contributing to further cost efficiency.

Improved Product Durability In-mold labeling creates a bond between the label and the product, making the label more resistant to wear, moisture, and damage. This is especially important in industries like food packaging, where products are often exposed to harsh environments such as refrigeration, transportation, and handling. Side entry IML robots help ensure that labels stay intact and legible, enhancing the durability of the final product.

Applications of Side Entry IML Robots

Side entry IML robots are versatile and can be used across various industries, including:

Food and Beverage Packaging: Ensuring that product labels are securely bonded to packaging to withstand handling and temperature changes.

Pharmaceuticals: Providing durable, tamper-proof labeling for medical products and containers.

Consumer Goods: Enhancing the appearance and durability of labels on household items, personal care products, and electronics.

No matter the application, side entry IML robots offer significant improvements in both production speed and product quality.
