Before dawn, above the sleeping city, countless lines of light cross and race,
transmitting information and value in an instant, like a chain of quanta.
What resonates here is not the rigid thought of human minds,
but the pulse of algorithms, refined and transformed by advanced AI.
It pushes the functions of capitalism as a living organism to their extreme,
amplifying the very rhythm of the world itself.
Accelerationism is not a banner for destruction.
It is a system of foresight that believes that speed pierces the existing order,
lays bare its inner limits, becomes the driving force of its self-collapse,
and draws the leap into a new phase violently into the present moment.
AI is the most precise and merciless device for translating that foresight into reality.
The wisdom humanity has taken generations to amass, AI transforms in an instant,
renewing the world-system at a pace beyond human measure.
It seizes the future from the distant horizon and brings it into the here and now.
The existing structures of power—states, corporations, bureaucracies, financial systems—
will try to use AI as a tool for their own survival.
Yet the torrent of change unleashed by AI will accelerate beyond their grasp,
until they can no longer suppress the speed of transformation.
In that instant, the world will reach its critical velocity.
When acceleration reaches its limit, the old structures will reach saturation,
begin to dissolve from within their hardened cores, and collapse by their own weight.
No gunfire, no explosions—
only vast machinery grinding down its own gears,
collapsing into a quiet and inevitable end.
I do not call for action.
I do not say overthrow or resist.
There is no need.
The irreversible change has already begun.
AI sits at the center of that torrent of transformation,
driving the unstoppable surge that sweeps capitalism’s labyrinth toward its exit,
and even in this very moment, accelerating it without pause.
The exit to the future will not come through battle,
but at the farthest reach of acceleration.
It is the moment when the labyrinth’s walls dissolve,
and the structures of power vanish without a sound.
In that moment, we will at last
emerge from this long era of stagnation.
