- Critical thinking about computers is not possible without an informed understanding. (...) Software as a whole is not only 'code' but a symbolic form involving cultural practices of its employment and appropriation. (...) It's upon critics to reflect on the contraints that computer control languages write into culture. [1]
- in many cases these debates [about artificial intelligence] may be missing the real point of what it means to live and think with forms of synthetic intelligence very different from our own. (...) To regard A.I. as inhuman and machinic should enable a more reality-based understanding of ourselves, our situation, and a fuller and more complex understanding of what 'intelligence' is and is not.
