Intelligence is the handmaiden of flexibility and change.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.

Effective translation of natural languages comes awfully close to requiring a sentient translator program.

The heart of manipulation is to empathize without being touched.

I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.

Here I had tried a straightforward extrapolation of technology, and found myself precipitated over an abyss. It's a problem we face every time we consider the creation of intelligences greater than our own. When this happens, human history will have reached a kind of singularity - a place where extrapolation breaks down and new models must be applied - and the world will pass beyond our understanding.

The work that is truly productive is the domain of a steadily smaller and more elite fraction of humanity.
