The CCRU is under-discussed in this sphere as a direct influence on the thoughts and actions of key players in AI and beyond.
Land started a creative collective, alongside Mark Fisher, in the 90s. I learned this by accident, and it seems like a corner of intellectual history that’s at least as influential as ie the extropians.
If anyone knows of explicit connections between the CCRU and contemporary phenomena (beyond Land/Fisher’s immediate influence via their later work), I’d love to hear about them.

Yarvin was not part of the CCRU. I think Land and Yarvin only became associates post-CCRU.
updated, thanks!
