Producing machines capable of artificial thought was easy. Producing a machine capable of intelligence has proven elusive because there just isn't anything on which to model it.

The whole last month has been more stressful than anything for all of us. We thought it was all behind us, but obviously it wasn't. 'Stressful' is the word I would use.

These weren't life-threatening conditions. These were just things the staff on site thought needed more attention.

Intelligent or not, we all make mistakes and perhaps the intelligent mistakes are the worst, because so much careful thought has gone into them

For God’s sake, let us be men
not monkeys minding machines
or sitting with our tails curled
while the machine amuses us, the radio or film or gramophone.

Monkeys with a bland grin on our faces.

One has to look out for engineers they begin with sewing machines and end up with the atomic bomb
