The intensification of AI only makes me surfacely interested in cybernetic-thought from theorists like Gilles Deleuze, Norbert Wiener and, of course, William Gibson. But even from the outlandish Nick Land: "AI is a meta-scientific control system and an invader, with all the insidiousness of planetary techno-capital flipping over."[1] Whatever that means...
But on the other hand, what a good time to revist the nature writers like Whitman and Emerson.

Then: if he had lived through the 90s to 10s (and seen how much the early internet makes him a prophet and what came of it), who knows how his thought might have changed.
