Encoding the death instinct into AI systems
On Braudillard's reversibility

Is it thus necessary to play a game of at least equal complexity, in order to be in opposition to third-order simulations? Is there a subversive theory or practice more random* than the system itself? An undetermined subversion, which would be to the order of the code what revolution was to political economy? Can we fight DNA? Certainly not with the blows of class struggle. Can we invent simulacra of an even higher logical (or illogical) order, beyond the current third order, beyond determination and indetermination? If so, would they still be simulations? Perhaps only death, the reversibility of death, is of a higher order than the code. Only symbolic disorder can breach the code.

The system's own logic turns into the best weapon against it. The only strategy of opposition to a hyperrealist system is paraphysical, a "science of imaginary solutions;" in other words, a science fiction about the system returning to destroy itself, at the extreme limit of simulation, a reversible simulation in a hyperlogic of destruction and death. Death is always simultaneously that which awaits us at the system's term, and the extermination that awaits the system itself.

This is the end of the signifier-signified dialectic that permitted the accumulation of knowledge and meaning. Only reversibility, and not release or drift, is fatal to the system. And this is exactly what is meant by the term symbolic "exchange."

The emancipation of the sign: released from any "archaic" obligation it might have had to designate something, the sign is at last free for a structural or combinatory play that succeeds the previous role of determinate equivalence.

Everything becomes undecidable. This is the characteristic effect of the domination of the code, which is based everywhere on the principle of neutralization and indifference. This is the generalized brothel of capital: not the brothel of prostitution but the brothel of substitution and interchangeability. Facebook, Twitter, and any social media, aren't they just that, a global brothel?
