"Get along among yourselves, each of you doing your part. Our counsel is that you warn the freeloaders to get a move on. Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And be careful that when you get on each other’s nerves you don’t snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out."1 Thessalonians 5:15 (MSG)

Man muß die Dinge auch so tief sehen, daß sie einfach sind.
Wenn man nur an der Oberfläche der Dinge bleibt, sind sie nicht einfach;
aber wenn man in die Tiefe sieht, dann sieht man das Wirkliche und das ist immer einfach.
(Dr. Konrad Adenauer, deutscher Politiker (CDU), 1949-63 erster Bundeskanzler (1876-1967))

"The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim."
Edsger W. Dijkstra also wrote:
". The advent of the low-priced microcomputer has made things only worse. The ration between design cost and production cost is so high that they have to be sold in huge volume to as many customers as conceivable, whether they need them or not.
My favourite application of the so-called home computer is CAD: Computer-Assisted Devotion. Like the Tibetan prayer wheel, my home computer generates prayers, but with a much greater productivity than the old mechanical device; besides that, it generates prayers never prayed before, and in the jargon my little machine should be called an intelligent prayer wheel.
I told you of the intelligent prayer wheel – IPW for the cognoscente – not because the project is so valuable, but because it is so typical: the discerning observer will encounter IPW’s all the time."
2026 machines are not yet dreaming but OpenAI broke out of the box...
