“Sometimes at night I worry about TAMMY. I worry that she might get tired of it all. Tired of running at sixty-six terahertz, tired of all those processing cycles, every second of every hour of every day.

“By far the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.”
