I wish the author dipped into accelerationist philosophy and its adherents. Most accelerationists nowadays seem to be into Bostrom-esque singularitarianism and the idea of marching forward with unabashed capitalism as an 'optimum resource allocation process' to allocate capital into AI technology efforts. Essentially: Bring the singularity faster, through more capitalism. They are pretty explicit about it, and I would bet the author would have a good time taking their ideas head-on instead of avoiding them entirely. See: Nick Land, Robin Mackay, Benjamin Noys.
