"Computers are rocks we tricked into thinking" is entirely incorrect. Computers are rocks we tricked ourselves into believing they could think
@ionchy sorry for the double boost but this post is 200% correct
@ionchy Computers are a bendy funhouse mirror but for thoughts
@ionchy they **could** think, but it's just that: we don't actually bother helping them do that
@ionchy computers are just a way to outsource our thinking to our past selves
@ionchy brb need to revise my dissertation
@ionchy Computers are rocks that tricked us.
@ionchy computers are just spicy sand

@ionchy No computer are bad because bad people designed them badly. The silicon was probably good.

"Computers are bad" equally entirely unjust. Computers are good and people who use them are bad
