Organizations are giant lumbering robots, made of people, manipulated by remote control using meme machines, growing and consuming resources like ants and slime mould, based on modern economic paradigms.Robotic turtles all the way down. https://t.co/0iD35vwskQ

I'm imagining a corporation claiming insanity as way to defend the criminal acts of it's 'AI' running on top of an automated smart contract.https://t.co/JNO4EAyYC5

... And then the argument against it being equivalent to claiming that actions of said AI can't be sued because the circumstances surrounding the mal-action are 'acts of god'.

Of course we anthropomorphize AI."Many fears of intelligent robots are the same as ones held about corporations for hundreds of years. We never learned to control them."https://t.co/zGNDHqprBqhttps://t.co/Ohw31FiFPX

Can a corporation be both alive, and not a person?I wonder if corporations will be given more rights than animals.I think we'll give animals rights as a consequence of wanting to pressure them with powers of the state.https://t.co/7mKZlaW9tI

Those magic words work because of something we overlook: people inside of the org actually making it run, and all the cultural seeds they brings to the table. A ritual of summoning a sort of self-organizing flesh-golem made of tech & human parts.https://t.co/AIIgMmhlPQ

We aren't wired to see machines of meat. We allude to complex systems by terms like "god" or "divine" or "providence". Or "demon" and "other". Or "Corporation"https://t.co/LBEiwThOog

But we almost always frame it from perspective of the self. Ideas like 'my family', 'friendship', 'our community', 'my social network', 'classmates', 'lover'. We don't really see organizations with human parts here because we're so much a part of it ourselves.

@BrunoPerennou @MimeticValue @Stefboyo I like that it implies Heidegger was ignorant that he was part of a larger colony and subject to a collectivist will. Strikes of Durkheim Functionalism https://t.co/hi6xAe88bwThis weaves durkheim's sacred into a lineage of girard's concepts. They rhyme.https://t.co/pS1hSdEoi7

@BryceWeiner @JimmyRis @RabbitBusiness @twetchapp @coinyeezy They'll have to compete with capitalist accelerationism and the emrgence of machines surrogates, and not to mention ATP maximalists which already got a ~3.5billion year head start thanks to the great oxygenation event and the emergence of ATP.https://t.co/Dp4oexBKoL

You are your society, a body politic whose organization persists in the configuration it does because of an encoding of information unfurling in a response to it's environment.A hive of people, cooperating.
