Note that I am not proposing that AI research be ignored or less funded.
Life is a green madness just now, trying to squeeze the last bit of warmth from the season.
IA is something that is proceeding very naturally, in most cases not even recognized by its developers for what it is.
The heart of manipulation is to empathize without being touched.
How to explain? How to describe? Even the omniscient viewpoint quails.
I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth.
