they are producing better machine-parts for the true thing. i mean, capital without internet was pretty fearsome, but with it, it's a true monster. same for deep learning.

There is nothing idiosyncratic about the notion that intelligence must necessarily transcend what an individual human is capable of
-
is there something idiosyncratic about describing capital as an intelligence? war? a housing bubble?
-
to the extent that those are self-sophisticating processes, which admittedly isn't as readily apparent or necessarily true with bubbles and war as it is with capital, no
-
"self-sophisticating" seems slightly different to the earlier definition. what do you mean by it?
-
not really sure if it is meaningfully distinguishable from self-enhancement or intensification tbh, as those terms entail that the process becomes 'smarter', i.e. more efficient and reactive, and better at making itself smarter
-
war is clearly a process that tends towards intensification. Like a housing bubble, it has an escalatory or self-fulfilling dynamic. therefore (according to this theory) war is an artificial intelligence. likewise for asset bubbles
-
the problem is that individual wars and bubbles normally come to an end, in a way that capital doesn't, so I guess my take would be that to the extent that they are intelligent, they are so as part of the larger process of capital
-
why is that a problem? are you saying that a process cannot be considered to be an artificial intelligence unless it goes on forever?
