“With the increasingly important role of intelligent machines in all phases of our lives--military, medical, economic and financial, political--it is odd to keep reading articles with titles such as Whatever Happened to Artificial Intelligence? This is a phenomenon that Turing had predicted: that machine intelligence would become so pervasive, so comfortable, and so well integrated into our information-based economy that people would fail even to notice it.” PeopleWellsImportantPoliticalReadingRolesEconomyOur LivesFailingHappenedEconomicMilitaryInformationComfortableMachinesIntelligentFinancialMedicalTitlesOddPhenomenonArtificial IntelligenceArticlesArtificialPhasesIntegratedIntelligent Machines Book:The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence Source: The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence

“Many of the deficiencies of our economic system could be alleviated if ways were found to broaden the ownership of the means of production... This has happened in some companies through ESOPs. Successful approaches of this sort would pay dividends in terms of employee commitment and morale.

“In times of economic distress, it's only natural for people - and Americans have done this for many years - to look for a scapegoat.

“Now, part of the problem with the climate debate is that so much gas board language like that [the IPCC's language] has been used and there's been too little plain, scientific, and economic thinking. And so, the entire political class has been captured by an idea, which as always with the best bad ideas has a grain of truth in it, which is then exaggerated beyond all reason. This has happened before - one thinks of the Dreyfus case, for instance.” ThinkingLittlesHas BeensIdeasReasonProblemPoliticalUsedLanguageClassCasesHappenedEconomicClimateDebateInstanceBoardsGasGrainCapturedExaggeratedBad Ideas Author:Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley
