rapid development of software without standards of correctness has opened up many routes to exploit von Neumann architecture’s storage of data and instructions in the same memory. One of the most common routes, known as “buffer overrun,” involves an input number (or long string o...
All the more so when dictators rediscover the time-honored technique of weaponizing the people against each other by punishing those who don’t denounce or punish others. In contrast, technologically advanced societies have long had the means to install Internet-connected, govern...
possibility that machines threaten a new fascism must be weighed against the vigor of the liberal ideas, institutions, and norms that Wiener championed throughout the book. The flaw in today’s dystopian prophecies is that they disregard the existence of these norms and institutio...
might sound like a risk, human understanding comes with its own limits; engineering design is littered with what appeared to be good insights that have had bad consequences. Declarative design rests on all the advances in AI, plus the improving fidelity of simulations to virtuall...

enough time and unlimited visual aids, a human could express a preference (or indifference) when offered a choice between two future lives laid out before him or her in all their aspects. (This idealization ignores the possibility that our minds are composed of subsystems with in...

whereas the iron-eating bactertum Thiobacillus ferrooxidans 1s thrilled. Who’s to say the bacterium is wrong? The fact that a machine has been given a fixed objective by humans doesn’t mean that it will automatically recognize the importance to humans of things that aren’t part o...
five sides, mounted on a ten-foot-wide mirrored base. A variety of viscous and unpleasant-looking fluids (yellow, reddish-orange, brown), dry materials (sawdust? flour?), and even insects drizzle or dust their way down the head, whose stoic sublimity is made gorgeously virtual on...

risk easily managed and far in the future, but also it’s extremely unlikely that we'd even try to move billions of humans to Mars in the first place. The analogy is a false one, however. We are already devoting huge scientific and technical resources to creating ever-more-capable...
does.” Parreno’s piece is an intuitive assembly of our experience of “life” through embodied, perspectival engagement. Our consciousness is electrically (cybernetically) enmeshed, yet we don’t respond as if this human-generated set of elegant simulations had its own intelligence....
