The processing you have to get through is not only environmentally difficultly, it's extremely expensive.”

Of course, if you know what will happen, you can succeed at doing it, so an athlete in flow has a stand-out game.”

“Artificial intelligence uses a complex set of rules - algorithms - to get to a conclusion. A computer has to calculate its way through all those rules, and that takes a lot of processing. So AI works best when a small computer is using it on a small problem - your car's anti-lock brakes are based on AI. Or you need to use a giant computer on a big problem - like IBM using a room-size machine to compete against humans on Jeopardy in 2011.”

“War is an extraordinary condition to be in - to be, for example, in the combat information center of a warship [and behaving] as though you were merely processing credit card applications.

You have to separate yourself psychologically from the fact that your mortal existence may well end. That is the ancient reality of war.”

“Delaying a meal brings about symptoms most people call "hunger." These symptoms include abdominal cramping, weakness, and feeling ill-the same as during drug withdrawal. This is not hunger. Our dietary habits, especially eating animal-protein-rich foods three times a day, are so stressful to the detoxification system in our liver and kidneys that we start to get withdrawal, or detoxification, symptoms the minute we aren't busy processing such food. Real hunger is not that uncomfortable.”

Tired of running at sixty-six terahertz, tired of all those processing cycles, every second of every hour of every day.

And then I would have to do an error report, and I don't know how I would even begin to explain that to Microsoft.”
