tl;dr
The legendary British documentary maker Adam Curtis has a new series coming out called All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace whose thesis is that computers have detrimentally reshaped our view of what society is and our role in it.
- drallison 15y agoAdam Curtis may be right. Note the "tl;dr" by evangineer which suggests that at least one reader did not have the attention span to read the short article. Of course, it is not a given that comment is due to a computer reshaped view of reality, but that's my working null-hypothesis. (cf. recent xkcd panel (#892) and the TX BOE statements on evolution)
