   Just a sec. Writing a draft of a novel where the one galactic civilization that made it maintains their hegemony by secretly poisoning FTL drive AI models.

     @thomasfuchs Much deeper than it first appears.

     A valuable property of computers is they are deterministic, they will sum the list of numbers the same each time. Where a human is insightful, as a new idea crosses his/er mind in a moment of distraction, humans are terrible at routinized tasks; as new ideas keep crossing our bored minds.

     By making computers no longer reliable—whether through fuzzy, human-ish AI, or code that is never designed, documented, nor tested (because CI)—we loose a lot.
