“The [automatic machine/artificial intelligence] is not frightening because of any danger that it may achieve autonomous control over humanity... Its real danger is the quite different one that such machines, though helpless by themselves, may be used by a human being or a block of human beings to increase their control over the rest of the human race.”
#NorbertWiener, The Human Use of Human Beings, 1950
@jack amazing what insights one can have when not deluded.
@6d03 @jack Makes you think about why things are the way they are today, doesn't it?
@drwho @jack No clue. Maybe we don't teach enough social philosophy.
@6d03 @jack I don't think a lot of places teach any.
