I feel as if I am part of a performance in which a group of thinkers will build a sentient machine that may sweep us away, and others are trying to stop them. I don’t even know which group I am in. It does not matter. I want to be observing its birth while it happens.

Nobody is going to build a “sentient” machine. Not until we develop algorithms for emotional affect. It’s highly probable that “sentience” can’t exist absent affect. (I’ll be very pleased to be proven wrong in this, by the way). But you guys keep working on the dream.

If you see the whole internet as a sentient mind of a higher order, is it possible a shitstorm equals an unpleasant emotion?
