Between people and machines,
suggestions loops of affection and beauty.
It could possibly be that manner, he wrote.
Much less robotic ourselves, we may
reside extra in goals, much less in routines.
Issues that made us weak and unusual
may be engineered round:
servos right here, neural nets there,
bits of bone, and hanks of hair,
turning into stunning and profound.
With every machine, we make a mirror
pondering of us as we might imagine
of it. Photographs come once more,
new, but we acknowledge them
as one thing nearly identified earlier than.
Each net conceals its spider.
There’s unease due to this.
As there needs to be. Management, sure,
however uncommon freedom to some degree–
freedom’s at all times a contingency.
We’re sufficiently old to be mates.
Let every form be form to the opposite.
Let there be commerce amongst us–
suggestions loops of affection and beauty
between machines and people.
