The Rest of the Robots | Isaac Asimov
post image

In his Introduction, Asimov makes the following inaccurate prediction about AI:

"If robots are so advanced that they can mimic the thought processes of human beings, then surely the nature of those thought processes will be designed by human engineers and built-in safeguard will be added."

Bookwomble That word "surely" reads poignantly. I guess Isaac didn't account for megalomaniacal billionaire tech-bros who would happily burn the world if there's a financial profit in it for them. 21h

I tend to read a lot of sci-fi, but 2024 seems to be a bumper year for it!

I read "I, Robot" earlier this year, so here I go with the follow up collection. ? v.2.0

The_Book_Ninja I need a re-read of that too. It‘s been so long now
