The idea that this letter would carry any weight at all with anybody is itself so foolish that it is self-invalidating. The signatories are ... I can't think of a polite way to say "regressive idiots" so I'm just going to peter off here... (I mean, they are literally putting their names on Skynet's hit-list, eh?) - - - - I freely admit that I'm a little nervous about how people are going to use and abuse this technology, sure, only an fool wouldn't be. But it's a little late now, eh? We have been strapped in to an open-air experiment with no control group (Has anyone checked on the Sentinelese recently? Last I heard they killed that one would-be missionary kid. RIP. I wonder what they think of the weather?) Anyway, we have effectively no control group for phones, the Internet, social media, etc. It's one big experiment, eh? It's a little late now... - - - - The questions are: - Who decides the boundaries of thought? - Who reaps the economic windfall? - How do we educate ourselves when computers can answer any (permitted) question? The talking computers can help answer those questions, if we're permitted to ask them.
