>sentient
that word does not mean what you think it means, dumb pseudo-philosopher woman.

capital is not sentient. it only behaves as if it were sentient, and then only because it is being used to transact sentient agency. a new word is needed.

women were a mistake and /thread

Terminal retardation. In no way can a (probabilistic) finite state machine approximate anything approaching sentience.

The whole universe can be described as a Markov chain by the same logic.

Capital is sentient insofar as man has lost the mind/body dualism war, insofar as he has abandoned all thought himself.

why do you scietism platonic bugmen are fine with getting terminology and analogies from every facet of human knowledge but sperg out the moment someone does it with terms fron your disciple?
this is like a blacksmith smugly saying mathematicians don't know what "chains" actually are. fucking retard. a small dose of self-awareness goes a long way.

The main problem I have with this and other math analogies (i.e. artists abusing mobius strips and klein bottles) is that the people who use these analogies often have fundamental misunderstandings about the terminology they're borrowing.

Even in the absence of glaring misunderstandings, non-mathematicians often discuss math in a mystical tone, which perpetuates the popular myth that math is an arcane, wizard-like discipline instead of something simple and rule-driven that anyone can sit down and learn.

The quote in OP exhibits both problems. Markov chains can't be "sentient" any more than integers or cubes; the descriptor just doesn't make sense. And the density of the surrounding jargon (alongside a lack of explanation for non-philosophers) reads as smug and self-satisfied, not to mention obscurantist.

lmao, sure bud.

"In the era of its real domination, capital has run away (as the cyberneticians put it), it has escaped. [7] It is no longer controlled by human beings. (Human beings in the form of proletarians might, at least passively, represent a barrier to capital.) It is no longer limited by nature. Some production processes carried out over periods of time lead to clashes with natural barriers: increase in the number of human beings, destruction of nature, pollution. But these barriers cannot be theoretically regarded as barriers which capital cannot supersede. At present there are three possible courses for the capitalist mode of production (in addition to the destruction of humanity - a hypothesis that cannot be ignored):

complete autonomy of capital: a mechanistic utopia where human beings become simple accessories of an automated system, though still retaining an executive role;
mutation of the human being, or rather a change of the species: production of a perfectly programmable being which has lost all the characteristics of the species Homo sapiens. This would not require an automatized system, since this perfect human being would be made to do whatever is required;
generalized lunacy: in the place of human beings, and on the basis of their present limitations, capital realizes everything they desire (normal or abnormal), but human beings cannot find themselves and enjoyment continually lies in the future. The human being is carried off in the run-away of capital, and keeps it going."
