Is the "capital is sentient" meme just a different way of expressing Adam Smith's notion of the Invisible Hand?

No, it's more like animism.
Juan Cook
Yes, essentially. But also combined with Marx's theory of valorisation which is then conflated into a Kantian self-valorising dialectic to which the human disappears.
It's an entirely backwards theory, and rightfully appears as a cult at the end of capital.
Brandon Wright
its just satan.
Christopher Campbell
more like shamanism

The invisible neo-hand walks you down the path of post-gender dialectics, as an accelerationist device it's simply devious; in pornographer circles (which aren't to be ignored, after all daddy Bataille was one) it's known as sissy hypnosis.

Not really. Invisible hand is merely liberal wishful thinking that fully free and rational individual pursuing their self-interest would make up a good collective. "Capital is sentient" meme meantime realizes that competition and pursuit of efficiency would eventually spiral out of human control as humans are fundamentally inneficient. You could however say that the meme is product of the invisible hand.
btw does this "capital is sentient" meme originate on this site or is it product of some writer?
Benjamin Wilson

So I came up with new concept that others found interesting? That would be pretty based,
Oliver Cox
it's just Hegel's weltgeist
