"a terrible brood of automata" - Steiner on the coming AI and autonomous robotic computer apocalypse

[Zenaan Harkness]

Be warned fellow humans.

This is from a man who spoke nearly 100 years ago, of things we are
yet to see, but which we now agree are entirely foreseeable.

100 years ago computers did not yet exist. Yet the prediction of
their inevitability and the worse things yet to be (quite possibly)
seen.

And yes, a hint at an approach or "prescription" if you will to forge
a different pathway into the future.


But who can name such a pathway, even after reading this lecture
transcription?
