  "either they’re drugging us to keep us fat and happy or we’re in the Matrix" I miss this guy and his connectedness with our culture.

    I don't miss this guy and his connectedness to our shadow ops, drone killings, and abuse of constitutional power that basically left a loaded gun in the white house for president dumbass now at his disposal.

  Wow. Not just about AI - he's consistently insightful in that conversation, and demonstrates a systems-level mindset that one might even describe as hacker-esque... "Part of what makes us human are the kinks. They’re the mutations, the outliers, the flaws that create art or the new invention, right? We have to assume that if a system is perfect, then it’s static. And part of what makes us who we are, and part of what makes us alive, is that we’re dynamic and we’re surprised." Hell of a quote.
