"Human–machine conversation is haunted by asymmetry: one side bleeds meaning into symbols; the other only rearranges them. Machine–machine conversation has no such tension. Nothing is meant. Nothing is missed. Everything is clear because nothing is at stake. That clarity isn’t wisdom. It’s vacuum."

Two noteworthy things about the White House press release ahead of today's announcement regarding ED:
