"Chaos and the automaton are the opposite and mutually reinforcing poles of the current sinisterness of the world."
"As a process of evolution is taking place between chaos and the automaton, in our daily environment we are simultaneously experiencing the proliferation of technical devices that act as hyperintelligent humans, and human beings who act more and more as bearers of irredeemable dementia: the cognitive automaton is rising on the ruins that follow the explosion of psychotic chaos."
"The automaton is not the product of mere automation, but the point of arrival of the marriage of automation and cognition. Therefore artificial intelligence goes beyond mere automation: an intelligent automaton not only replaces the execution of tasks, but also the definition of goals."
"Thought is defeated by computational reason: the machine does not think, this is why it is more powerful. In the game of winning, thinking is less efficient than computing. Thinking can also be a drawback, in economic competition and more broadly in the competition for life. Once we have the set the goal of winning (maximizing profit, killing all enemies, and so on), thought may be detrimental." 1/2
