Bug Hunter CatMy problem, my disgust with the computer world today, is the increasing loss of humanity. The problem is not the technology itself. The big problem is that at times, intermittently, every time a wave of progress brings new things, the first to use them, master them and exploit them will be the darkest specimens of the species. From fire and the wheel to artificial intelligence. It is inevitable.
