funny that we produced exactly one generation of people who can understand computers

@doctorow @emilymbender @WeilLiz @NYMag Great implied comparison in paragraph towards the end of this piece: tech industry professional with his son vs AI. Existentialists argued we only know value of something when it is gone. AI vs son, you would save son. Under what conditions would someone save a digital entity/AI?

@McKenzie_Ben Reminds me of this boredpanda.com/batman-fights-…

Is there a Bruce Wayne story where he first tries to save Gotham by spending his fortune on alternatives to policing, helping the poor etc and only becomes #Batman when it’s blocked by the rich who benefit from the status quo?
