Sitting with a group of friends this week I found myself involved in a discussion about the benefits and perils of AI – the dangers of over reliance on the one hand or, on the other, the competing perils of being left behind, less able to cope without the dominant technology.

That’s what they preach!

 

     Where be my beloved Rachel,

Where does she go between the hours

My loins and longings no longer request her
