It’s always about us, isn’t it? I suspect sentient machines could not care less about humanity or our fate. They’re more likely to ignore us than enslave us. But that would be worse, wouldn’t it? “There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.” —O. Wilde
