"Computers bootstrap their own offspring, grow so wise and incomprehensible that their communiquÃ©s assume the hallmarks of dementia: unfocused and irrelevant to the barely-intelligent creatures left behind. And when your surpassing creations find the answers you asked for, you can't understand their analysis and you can't verify their answers. You have to take their word on faith."
