The author (Edmund Berkeley) is the co-founder of the ACM (I’m a member), he definitely did some other good stuff like being a peace activist and coming up with concepts that highly influenced the personal computer revolution 25–30 years after the book was published.
But the extreme toxic positivity about computers that “will solve all social problems” because “humans are so irrational” remains a huge problem with AI stans since the late 1940s.

Antifa is not “a militarist, anarchist enterprise,”
nor does it use “illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism.”…

@cdarwin@c.imTrump on Tuesday canceled a meeting with Democratic congressional leaders to avoid a shutdown over government funding, arguing it could not “possibly be productive”.
The reversal leaves the two parties in Washington without a solution to keep the government open past Sept. 30,
when the current fiscal year ends and funding runs out.
The meeting scheduled for Thursday was intended to negotiate a path forward.
