Automation [CPU-based supercomputers] is not the same as autonomy [GPU-based supercomputers], according to the experts in AI. (1)
Words conveying meaning we have chosen to accept as true – without realizing it.
Autonomy. Automation. But “autonomy” FROM WHO? Automation (2) for WHO to control what? A subject is always hidden behind anything seemingly objective. Behind every artificial intelligence lies someone intelligent.

Weird how we find answers to our most deep philosophical answers in a lab sometimes…
