The AIs we will eventually build will give us one answer to that question, since they will not have gotten there by accident. They may ask us questions about us the same way we ask questions about us and we will probably struggle to explain exactly why things are the way they are. This is why there are concerns about building runaway superintelligences. That's one way.

There are other Land-ier ways of asking this question too (like Roko's Basilisk) that will imply that the conversations going on about that AI in this thread are also all a part of some crazy multiple-worlds hypothesis. Personally I don't see the point in going that far but hey, Elon Musk thinks we're living in a video game already.

The internal logic of capital itself is basically always-already there for Deleuze and Guattari. To think is essentially to think machinically. We already build lots of perpetual motion machines. At some point it may be some descendent of Alpha-Go that passes a Turing test.

Capital builds intelligent machines and - according to some - arguably has no higher function than this.
