...apart from the seemingly magical internet, life in broad material terms isn't so different from what it was in 1953...The wonders portrayed in THE JETSONS, the space-age television cartoon from the 1960s, have not come to pass...Life is better and we have more stuff, but the pace of change has slowed down compared to what people saw two or three generations ago.
Fears of robotics and technology arise, I think, from two human frailties. One is cognitive: we simply do not know what future technological change will be and thus cannot tell what new jobs will be created, what our future needs will be, or how raw materials will be used. The second is psychological: we get a thrill from fear of the unknown—in this case, thescary and yet alluring prospect of metallic robots replacing flesh-and-blood workers on the factory floor.
Jokaisella teknisellä keksinnöllään, juhlimallaan innovaatiolla, ihminen on tehnyt itseään tarpeettomaksi, pelannut itseään pois maailmasta. Viime vuosina kehitys on ollut räjähdysmäinen.

Sitten suuri hiljaisuus.

Whether or not we admit it, the internet and its artifacts are not just like their cultural precedents. They're not even a rough translation -- or a strong misreading -- of those precedents.
Well the first War of the Machines seems to be drawing to its final inconclusive chapter - leaving, alas, everyone the poorer, many bereaved or maimed and millions dead, and only one thing triumphant: the Machines. As the servants of the Machines are becoming a privileged class, the Machines are going to be enormously more powerful. (letter 96)
The reality is that AI is there to act as a supplement to human life and expand our capacities.
