Personally, I'm not afraid of a robot uprising. The benefits far outweigh the threats.

...humanity learns true lessons only in cataclysm.

Zombies, vampires, Frankenstein's monster, robots, Wolfman - all of this stuff was really popular in the '50s. Robots are the only one of those make-believe monsters that have become real. They are really in our lives in a meaningful way. That's pretty fascinating to me.

It is not enough to live together in peace, with one race on its knees.

People need meaning as much as they need air. Lucky for us, we can give meaning to each other for free. Just by being alive.

It's hard to guess how smart the machines are, but a good rule of thumb is that they're always smarter than you think.

The true knowledge is not in the things, but in finding the connections between the things.
