“ The computer is the liar that always tells the truth. If you believe the lie—that what the computer does is beyond human comprehension, that its power exceeds its use value—then you are doomed to be its slave. You could smash the screen you read this on right now with a mallet, you could melt your computer in acid, you could remove the keys with red hot pincers and it will be completely indifferent to the experience. Computers do not feel; nor do they reason, or interpret. They have no agency. Complexity is not consciousness.
