It often looks intelligent and it sometimes seems to hover on the brink, but is really is not smart. It is designed to extend human reach, and if we ultimately avoid disaster, it will play a huge role. But only people — or god(s) — can prevent the many apocalypses facing us. Neither party has much or a record.

With luck we’ll have other worlds in the mix by then.
