“I have strong hunches about the inner workings of men who get millions of dollars from the Department of Defense and then say in private that really they're going to use it to create a machine so intelligent it can play with their chil-dren. (Not to name names or anything.) An obvious question is, do they play with their children? No, they play with computers.”

@thomasfuchs As opposed to Alan Turing, who proposed creating a machine to *be* his child https://academic.oup.com/book/40646/chapter-abstract/348321405?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=false

In 1950 Turing said: ‘Instead of trying to produce a programme to simulate the adult mind, why not rather try to produce one which simulates the child’s? If this were then subjected to an appropriate course of education one would obtain the adult brain’.
