When computers were primitive machines and began to be analogized to people, people were superior because of their superior intellects. As the computers became smarter, the emphasis shifted to the soul and the spirit in the human machine."

We were his belly slaves. We were
all he had to do with his forever time. We would always be with
him, with the cavern-filling bulk of the creature machine, with
the all-mind soulless world he had become. He was Earth, and
we were the fruit of that Earth; and though he had eaten us he
would never digest us. We could not die. We had tried it" (477).]]> 2023-03-01 04:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/camillavpalmas/532bcdhes036dgc4/wish/2498979065 camillavpalmas https://padlet.com/camillavpalmas/532bcdhes036dgc4/wish/2498981093 2023-03-01 04:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/camillavpalmas/532bcdhes036dgc4/wish/2498981093 Game camillavpalmas https://padlet.com/camillavpalmas/532bcdhes036dgc4/wish/2498982938 Ellen: "Don't you computers ever get tired of jerking us around?"]]> 2023-03-01 04:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/camillavpalmas/532bcdhes036dgc4/wish/2498982938 Game camillavpalmas https://padlet.com/camillavpalmas/532bcdhes036dgc4/wish/2498984454 "AM is no longer just a machine.

A recurring theme in movies and science fiction is AI systems that go rogue - think HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey or the Terminator movie series. People don’t like machines that get too smart, because we fear we can’t control it."

"People worried that subways violated the will of God by getting people closer to hell, and that telephones would let people communicate with the dead. Early elevators were plagued by consumers who felt “elevator sickness” after their rides. And with the advent of the passenger train, people worried that “the unprecedented speeds of railroad travel could send women's uteruses hurling from their bodies” (Christian Keil 2019)
