Wording attested: 2022-10-31. Read in the repost of 31 October 2022, which calls itself verbatim; the cross-family check compared only the definition of e/acc with the original post.
Role: Context
Register (kind of text): Nonfiction
Missing element: The passage does not state that technocapital is itself a machine intelligence or that machine intelligence assembles itself through it; it states that technocapital can create silicon-based awareness.

Scope and limitsThe post names technology and market forces together "technocapital" and also opens with "Accelerationism is simply the self-awareness of capitalism". Two paragraphs after the quoted passage it writes "AI/technocapital" as one term. It does not state that technocapital is itself a machine intelligence.
