“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.

And then I would have to do an error report, and I don't know how I would even begin to explain that to Microsoft.”

― G.S. Jennsen, Transcendence: Aurora Rising Book Three

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