Abstract:
This article interrogates current conceptions of thinking machines of the future. In
contrast to dystopian visions of the future, where humans become dominated by machines of their own making, I argue that this future already happened some time ago, and that we are, in fact, already living in the future that we dread might come to pass.
Keywords: posthuman theory, artificial intelligence, capital, subjectivity
