In Lê's published conversation with Land of January 2026, Lê states that capital is “a vastly more general intelligence than us humans”, that Kurzweil's 2040s prediction for AGI or the singularity and a “2027 thesis” are “both too late” (“Their dates should really be centuries ago”), and that LLMs are to capital as a species is to natural selection; Land calls this “a really good way of structuring this” and says “the natural selection mechanism is ultimately the intelligent mechanism”.
