What Would the Father of Cybernetics Think About A.I. Today?
Norbert Wiener's legacy by Seth Lloyd. I reread "Human Use of Human Beings" last year and agree with most, though Wiener was correct about authoritarianism: Whether bottom-up or top-down, we are controlled and not as free as we could given what cybernetics gave us. Still, true that he would be happy that we are still alive!
