To ensure they're good obedient kids, we're going to use intimidation through algorithms of punishments and rewards and mechanisms of control to ensure they stick to a code of ethics that we ourselves are unable to agree upon, let alone abide by. 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
