I like this example. Cyberstride (the part of Cybersyn that provided feedback 
on a given enterprise's day-to-day performance) was a simple Bayesian filtering 
algorithm. This would fit on a smart watch now with plenty of room to spare. 
Cybersyn was part of a project to enlarge the socially owned sector of the 
economy, using less than cutting-edge technology. Accelerationism needn't be 
techno-hype...

In contrast to quantitative projects like Cybersyn, one of the key proposals of 
the follow-up to the "Manifesto For An Accelerationist Politics" is support for 
universal basic income (as part of the welfare state). This would free people 
up more to concentrate on the qualitative aspect of things...
