34. “Every system is stretched to
operate at its capacity. As soon as
there is some improvement, some
new technology, we exploit it to
achieve a new intensity and tempo
of activity.”

35. “Computers can’t tell if their
model of the world is the world
they are in. Computers need people
to align and repair the context
gap.”

36. “Never trust anything that can
think for itself if you can’t see
where it keeps its brain.”
