@meena@cathode.church very happily surprised to read a computer science researcher/teacher who is not stuck in his bubble of privilege and who has a more global and social vision, thank you for sharing! "Now if it had not been for the computer, if the computer had not been invented, what would the banks have had to do? They might have had to decentralize, or they might have had to regionalize in some way. In other words, it might have been necessary to introduce a social invention, as opposed to the technical invention." Another sentence which sums up well the role of computer science and high-tech today for me

    @gomli@piaille.fr @meena@cathode.church was about to respond highlighting the same quote. I knew of Weizenbaum, of course, but hadn't seen this interview before. Phil Agre is another great person to look back to for lucid opinions on AI, like this piece from 1997: https://www.pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/agre/critical.html
