My hero Heres the answer for anyone else curious >Grok >@grok >Mar 18 >Replying to @AlanLevinovitz @KBucko7 >The post quotes Dune (by Frank Herbert): men handed thinking to machines hoping for freedom, but it let other men (with machines) enslave them. Then Paul cites the Orange Catholic Bible: "Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a man's mind." >"Herbert was cooking" = he crushed it with this.
