This is basically Nick Land's core thesis that capitalism and AI are identical.

The obvious human idiocy in such things often obscures the actual process:
"What it [capitalism] is in itself is only tactically connected to what it does for us — that is (in part), what it trades us for its self-escalation. Our phenomenology is its camouflage. We contemptuously mock the trash that it offers the masses, and then think we have understood something about capitalism, rather than about what capitalism has learnt to think of the apes it arose among."

It'd be funny if it's actually full-automated, closed-loop automation of capital allocation markets.
"Why are we doing this? How much money are we getting?" -> "I dunno. It's what the models said."
