We are creating a self-learning machine which at its prime will become the reflection or rather, the magnification of the cumulative human traits that created it.

That's what we're creating. Childhood trauma times a trillion.

We assume that they will welcome these connections, as if our frail biological physical forms will be a desirable habitat for their infinite abilities. — Mo Gawdat
