Algorithmic "proletarization of the mind": preventive capture of memory and technotragic in the platform society after Simondon and Stiegler.

The relevance of this study is due to the total integration of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and platform logic into all areas of social life, which gives rise to a number of acute psychological, social, and political problems—from attention crisis and widespread distrust to the decline of spiritual values. Drawing on the philosophical apparatus of Bernard Stiegler and Gilbert Simondon, the article analyzes how modern technologies based on artificial intelligence not only perform external recording but also carry out "preventive capture of memory." This process, which involves the anticipatory extraction of behavioral data by machines below the threshold of human perception, undermines the very possibility of mental and collective individualization, separating knowledge from bodily experience and exacerbating the techno-tragic condition of modern humans. The methodological approach of this research is based on the synthesis of philosophical analysis of media theory and conceptual deconstruction. At its core is a diachronic analysis of technology, inherited from Simondon and developed by Stiegler, which allows for the tracking of the evolution of proletarianization from the industrial era to the age of surveillance capitalism. Stiegler's pharmacological approach is applied to reveal the ambivalent nature of digital technologies as both "poison" and "antidote." This method is complemented by the conceptual apparatus of contemporary media theory (Alexander Galloway, Eugene Thacker) and in particular, the analysis of "excommunication" and "dark media," which enables the uncovering of new forms of communicative alienation. The method of conceptual innovation is particularly significant—the development and introduction of the term "preventive capture of memory," which serves as a key tool for critiquing the political economy of attention in platform society. The article asserts that the consequence of this is a techno-tragic state, in which the ability to symbolize, creatively participate, and form a common world is lost. Instead of mediation as a condition for the exchange of experiences, the systemic algorithms of platforms implement the logic of "excommunication," generating a closed environment where human participation becomes a byproduct of automated operations. The scientific novelty of this work lies in the development of the concept of "preventive capture of memory" and the synthesis of Stiegler's philosophy of proletarianization with mediation theory to analyze algorithmic subordination as a new form of governance. The future of knowledge and social ties is under threat due to the dominance of entropic models governed by the economics of big data.
