prolapso··on The Original AI Doomer: Dr. Norbert Wiener
I've been meaning to read it ever since I saw this quote, which I found quite beautiful and sad:

The Machine is much, but it is not everything. I see something like you in this plate, but I do not see you. I hear something like you through this telephone, but I do not hear you. That is why I want you to come. Pay me a visit, so that we can meet face to face, and talk about the hopes that are in my mind.

- The Machine Stops (1909)
