ELBOW ROOM

This is where I collect and write things, mostly on academe and artificial intelligence. Established in 2010, by Vaishak Belle.

  1. Missed this piece by Gary Marcus. The Crichton quote he brings up and it’s relevance here is excellent. A few months ago, Jon Stewart was on the Colbert show and sadly he said echoed similar: doom as a result of a scientist’s curiosity, just because they could. (Badly paraphrased by me.) Cf Sundays poem.

    PS I should point out that I have long felt humanoid robots that look and feel like us are already questionable.
