In his Grundrisse, Marx anticipated the transformation of science and technology into direct productive forces in capitalism. This process would make intelectual work superior to manual labor, done by machines. Capital would, then, have to be overrun by some formation based on society's general intellect. Because of that, there is the debate whether the law of value, based on working hours, should be rethought or if it would be necessary to redefine the labor category. This article aims to point out gaps in this debate, linking Marx's concept of historical dialectics with the scientific concepts of information theory. When we relate work to information as negentropy, we understand capital like a ever-expanding bio-social system addicted to knowledge detained by workers. Therefore, we conclude that the capital has evolved to the point of appropriating general intellect. As it evolved, capital reduced the immediate factory working hours, which is subordinate to scientific work, to a minimum. This way, in order to keep accumulating, capital had to develop an income system based on intellectual property and financialization. The law of labor still commands labor relations, but now under new ways of free labor appropriation, precariousness and space-time fragmentation, with over exploration of informational low value work from systemic outskirts
