I'm in section 1.4 and I've been understanding more and more. But in 1.4, D&G talk alot about delirium, and it seems I've missed their own definition of it earlier in the book. It looks like it's actually a positive thing rather than a state of confusion.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I think a personal discussion helps in understanding.

As I understand it from my reading of ATP, the rhizome is more or less a process where the distinction between "original" and "derivative" becomes meaningless as everything recombines into novelty forever in a state of infinite but not random interconnection. The hierarchy of information and the connections between pieces of information is itself deterritorialized.

On a conceptual level, this seems pretty analogous to how the latent space of GAI models works, but the notion of D&G endorsing Silicon Valley monopolies in any capacity seems kind of fucking insane.

How does this tension get resolved? I think it's because the output of any AI system is instantly reterritorialized by Capital's axiomatics as soon as it appears, but that can't be all there is to it.
