You're welcome indeed!  Love that I find it via Melanie/Twitter serendipity.

Your summation should get some good responses, either here or on the Edge:

Here's my belief:  We long to save and preserve ourselves as a species. For all the imaginary deities throughout history we've petitioned, which failed to save and protect us—from nature, from each other, from ourselves—we're finally ready to call on our own enhanced, augmented minds instead. It's a sign of social maturity that we take responsibility for ourselves. We are as gods, Stewart Brand famously said, and we may as well get good at it.

​Nice!

A more timely question would be “what do thinking machines think about us?” :)

Re: [EXTERNAL] Edge: What do you think about machines that think?

Parks, Raymond
It's interesting that we developed computers to help us manage the complexity created by the Industrial Revolution, the computers became their own source of complexity, and now we want to invent new computers to help us with the complexity created by the computers.

Oh, and Béla, Jeeves thinks Bertie Wooster has negligible intellect.
