📝 A few of my notes and takeaways from Jaron Lanier’s book, "You Are Not a Gadget” (written in 2010).
- We care more for the abstractions we can create on top of individual expression rather than the individuals and their expressions
- Emphasizing _artificial_ intelligence means de-emphasizing _natural_ intelligence
- intelligence was a bottomless idea that transcended definition. But we've narrowed it to fit an abstraction in the computer.
