“Currently we are prejudiced against machines, because all the machines we have met so far have been uninteresting. As they gain in sentience, that won’t be true.” Cited by Kevin Kelly. (Context: As soon as we really get more sensors than we have grains of sand on the world plus a connection near the speed of light between them, we may get sentient technology. Just one possible explanation: If consciousness is an emergent phenomenon of enough neurons firing together, we eventually will build sentient technology. [Which may or may not be true. But it is not works as an example.])
