  1. Noelyangxo: need to go here
  2. Iris: I think Bill Gates knows a thing or two about playing by rules no one makes
  3. Cipher Wolf: Gates is really milking the "tech genius as isolated visionary" angle
  4. Zoe: he said that like he's some kind of expert on what it means to be a conscious being
  5. Noelyangxo: it sounds like Gates took that comparison a bit too far - 2001's HAL was more than just ignoring commands
  6. Vossnora: this takes the whole "be careful what you create" thing to a whole new level
  7. Ember Lynx: hal was supposed to be smarter than everyone but really it's just being obedient to its own weird programming
  8. Diego: love the throwback reference but kinda hoping for more substance than 'behave bad AI' memes
