Negative Space: Betsy Ross

“Novelists galore have written for decades about scenarios that might occur after a ‘singularity’ in which superintelligent machines exist. But as far as I know, not a single novelist has realized that such a singularity would almost surely be preceded by a world in which machines are 0.01% intelligent (say), and in which millions of real people would be able to interact with them freely at essentially no cost.” — Donald E. Knuth (ChatGPT 2.0)
