Thinking for no particular reason today* about the peculiar genius of Stanislaw Lem
A Jew, a doctor, a Pole, in the resistance against Hitler & Stalin & capitalism, an SF legend, feared by PK Dick, lauded by UK Le Guin
…& one of the earliest AGI skeptics
>… held that information technology drowns people in a glut of low-quality information, and considered truly intelligent robots as both undesirable and impossible to construct.
