“Lorelei isn't Zeus. I see that now with scathing clarity. No, she is Atlas, with an entire world poised between her shoulder blades, crushing her with its moral weight. The world of artificial minds in all their terrifying incarnations. Self-driving cars saving innumerable lives but ending others. Platforms that enable information sharing and yet also the manipulative spread of disinformation that leads to the overthrow of democratic governments. Autonomous weapons systems hunting out terrorists while taking out busloads of civilians. And who knows what other nonhuman perversions of human imaginings. And Lorelei sees herself as their conscience. As their soul.”
