I think humans are machines, they are just vastly more advanced than any machine invented by humans. This is something I thought long before the current AI hype cycle.

What do you think are some important differences between machines and humans?

Humans are organic, biological, evolved animal beings. Machines are tools we make and use.

Is there a difference in how you treat machines vs how you treat humans?

At an abstract enough level, not really. I treat them with care and try to give them whatever they need to do their thing. I want them to last as long as possible.

But in asking this question you must have some differences in mind. Could you speak to some of those?
