yes, in that raw material will no longer be necessary in order to generate "content" (i.e., cultural product / currency)
which is kind of implicit in accelerationism and deleuzian vitalism if you think about it, its all just flows crashing together randomly and coalescing into various equilibria,even culture, even art
