I'm continuing my deep dive into Nick Land's main thesis that capitalism is AI. [0]

I've recently started adding sources that exist only in image form, such as Nick Land's Shorelines text, which, like Machinic Desire, contains the famous passage:

"What appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy's resources."

I'm currently transcribing his latest 3-hour interview and extracting the bits that relate to his core thesis.
