But at the same time automation is forcing every worker to re-examine the very manner of his life as a human being simply in order to answer the question of how he shall exist at all.” (Words by C. L. R. James and Grace C. Lee, Facing Reality, 1958)

“AI will probably most likely lead to the end of the world, but in the meantime, there’ll be great companies.” (Words by Sam Altman, OpenAI CEO)
