I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1961: โCall it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all Godโs children.โ
Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1967: โThe evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and evils of racism.โ
