The essay has quotes like this: "The market thus oscillates asymptotically around the attractor of zero information friction in an incomputably random orbit" which sound so mathematical as to invite a proof...
... and then quotes like this: "Algorithmic hordes of parasitic vampire squids and zombie capitalists compulsively gorge on blood and brains, their exhausted victims lie all around, twitching to the non-periodic outbursts of transient code – the singularity turns out to be just another accelerating extension of exploitation" ... which is so over the top that it works against whatever point the article is trying to make...
... which is completely obscured by pseudo-scientific technobabble. A big WTF here.
