"Is it not the flesh only which has such fallibility?"

I think the concern is that flesh's fallibility is apt to make its way into computer algorithms, in particular the fallibility that says that as long as I am making big bucks I don't care what my algorithms may be doing to civilization. I tend to think that is already happening.

As for computers becoming self-aware and deciding to be sociopaths, that premise tends to make for bad movies, I agree, but in principle (the principle that we are in fact nano-tech machines with a mixture of innate and learned algorithms ourselves) it could happen.
