@prologic @dfaria “Computers enable fantasies, many of them wonderful, but also those of people whose compulsion to play God overwhelms their ability to fathom the consequences of their attempt to turn their nightmares into reality.”
-- Joseph Weizenbaum, creator of ELIZA
@abucci it will be nice to be able to read in what context Weizenbaum wrote that. It comes from an article he wrote, "Social and Political Impact of the Long-term History of computing”, which I haven’t been able to find without selling my soul. I understand you are a scholar; could you “lend” us the article? PDF is fine. :-)
