Machine intelligence of a human nature could be a century away, and immortality is at least a millennium away, if not unattainable altogether.
Michael Shermer
Image
Machine thinking is the opposite of mindfulness. If we're really engaged in mindfulness when walking along the path to the village, then we will consider the act of each step we take as an infinite wonder, and a joy will open our hearts like a flower, enabling us to enter the world of reality.
Nhat Hanh
Image
Machine intelligence is the last invention that humanity will ever need to make.
Nick Bostrom
Image
Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know.
Walter Benjamin
Image
A narrator should not supply interpretations of his work otherwise he would have not written a novel, which is a machine for generating interpretations.
Umberto Eco
Image
Our body is a machine for living. It is organized for that, it is its nature. Let life go on in it unhindered and let it defend itself.
Leo Tolstoy
Image
Once upon a time we were just plain people. But that was before we began having relationships with mechanical systems. Get involved with a machine and sooner or later you are reduced to a factor.
Ellen Goodman
Image
The thing about 'Soft Machine' and me was that I never considered another profession.
Kevin Ayers
Image
I find myself unable to let go of the sense that human beings are somehow special, and that moment-to-moment human experience contains a certain unquantifiable essence. I still suspect there is something too quirky, too paradoxical, or too interpersonal to be imitated or re-created by machine life.
Douglas Rushkoff
Image
You could fire a machine gun randomly through the pages of Lord of the Rings and never hit any women.
Neil Gaiman
Image
We've been using C and C++ way too much - they're nice, but they're very close to the machine and what we wanted was to empower regular users to build applications for Linux.
Miguel de Icaza
Image
You cannot endow even the best machine with initiative the jolliest steamroller will not plant flowers.
Walter Lippmann
Image
The machine conceals the machinations.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
I have always felt it is my destiny to build a machine that would allow man to fly.
Leonardo da Vinci
Image
The way to fly is to go straight up . . . Such a machine (the helicopter) will never compete with the aeroplane, though it will have specialized uses, and in these it will surpass the aeroplane. The fact that you can land at your front door is the reason you can't carry heavy loads efficiently.
Emile Berliner
Image
I know this is going to sound crazy, but I really love working out. I know that sounds sick to some people, but I didn't love it at first. It's become a healthy addiction for me. And like, now, if I'm watching TV on the couch I'm like, Ugh, I could be on a cardio machine watching the same thing. That's just now how my mind thinks.
Khloe Kardashian
Image
How is it possible to live like a machine and bear fruit like a tree?
Douglas Wilson
Image
We have a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder gentler machine gun hand.
Neil Young
Image
I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work - for example a lawnmower.
Mikhail Kalashnikov
Image
Your body is merely a machine made to express the thoughts that flow through you and nothing more. It is but an instrument for you to express your imagings just as a piano is an instrument for a musician to express his imagings. Just as the piano is not the musician, so, likewise, your body is not you.
Walter Russell
Image
The previous regime ... reduced man to a means of production and nature to a tool of production. Thus it attacked both their very essence and their mutual relationship. It reduced gifted and autonomous people to nuts and bolts in some monstrously huge, noisy, and stinking machine.
Vaclav Havel
Image
The vast material displacements the machine has made in our physical environment are perhaps in the long run less important than its spiritual contributions to our culture.
Lewis Mumford
Image
What a strange development of patriotism that turns a thinking being into a loyal machine!
Emma Goldman
Image
In fact UN is more of a galaxy of organisations and agencies than one machine.
