When atm machines came out and people were prosecuted for robbing atm machines, i don't think anybody thought the banks were against technology because they didn't want their atm machines lifted.

To possess both wisdom and compassion is the heart of our human revolution. if you have wisdom alone and lack compassion, it will be a cold, perverse wisdom. if you have compassion alone and lack wisdom, you cannot give happiness to others. you are even likely to lead them in the wrong direction, and you won't be able to achieve your own happiness.

I think that the artificial-intelligence people are making a lot of noise recently, claiming that artificial intelligence is making huge progress and we're going to be outstripped by the machines. but, in my view, this whole field is based on a misconception. i think the brain is analog, whereas the machines are digital. they really are different. so i think that what the machines can do, of course, is wonderful, but it's not the same as what the brain can do.

You cannot love a car the way you love a horse. the horse brings out human feelings the way machines cannot do. things like machines may develop or neglect certain things in people ... machines make our life impersonal and stultify certain elements in us and create an impersonal environment.

When one speaks of increasing power, machinery, and industry there comes up a picture of a cold, metallic sort of world in which great factories will drive away the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the green fields. and that then we shall have a world composed of metal machines and human machines. with all of that i do not agree. i think that unless we know more about the machines and their use, unless we better understand the mechanical portion of life, we cannot have the time to enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the flowers, and the green fields.
Flower Thinking Green Fields
Machines will follow a path that mirrors the evolution of humans. ultimately, however, self-aware, self-improving machines will evolve beyond humans' ability to control or even understand them.

Music is like a mirror in front of you. you're exposing everything, but surely that's better than suppressing. you have to dig deep and that can be hard for anybody, no matter what profession. i feel that i need to actually push myself to the limit to feel happy with the end result.

What attracted me about my mirrors was the idea of having nothing manipulated in them. a piece of bought mirror. just hung there, without any addition, to operate immediately and directly. even at the risk of being boring. mere demonstration. the mirrors, and even more the panes of glass, were also certainly directed against duchamp, against his large glass.
