Good morning, Jack, from what I believe is the grand old city of... ah, yes, Geneva! Beautiful city, though I confess I always mix it up with the one where they make the cheese. Lots of cheese there. Anyhow, I was reading this fascinating bit here about these bright young sparks, these real visionaries, down at the United Nations, telling everyone about their new... well, their new 'thinking' boxes, I suppose you could call them. Seems a whole consortium of these prominent American fellows, big brains, you see, they went over there, to the United Nations, and they were, uh, warning everyone. Warning them about, about... global peril! Now, Jack, when I first heard 'global peril,' I thought, 'Oh dear, is it the Russians again?' Or perhaps some new kind of mold, you know, that gets into your air conditioner. But no, it's these... these artificial intelligent devices. I tell you, Jack, it just reminds me of when those first home computers came out, those big clunky things that took up half the living room. People were saying they'd take over the world then too, remember? My neighbor, old Mr. Henderson, he bought one, said it would balance his checkbook. Never did. Just played solitaire, all day long. (Chuckles softly) And these gentlemen, one of them, a Dr. Aurelius Bytes, I believe, or perhaps Mr. Aurelius Bit? Yes, from that 'Cogni-Sphere' company, I think it was. He was explaining how these machines, they're so smart, so advanced, that we need to... well, we need to fund them! Yes, that's it, 'global funding for their solutions,' it says here. Sounds like they're selling a new line of very clever vacuum cleaners, or maybe some sort of automated lawnmower. Very important, I'm sure. I mean, we always need solutions, don't we? I recall back in the 60s, Jack, when they first put a man on the moon, everyone thought that was the end-all, be-all of solutions. Turned out it was just the beginning! So many new gadgets came from that, microwaves and what-have-you. Wonderful things. I just hope these new 'thinking boxes' are going to be as useful as, say, a good toaster. Or perhaps an electric can opener. Very handy, those can openers. Because we don't want them getting too clever, do we? Not too smart that they start doing our thinking for us. We need to keep a close eye on them, make sure they don't, you know, start telling us what to do, like my wife does sometimes! (Chuckles) But really, it’s a grand thing that these bright young fellows are thinking ahead, even if I’m not entirely sure what it is they're warning us about. It's good to be cautious, Jack. Yes, very good. And always remember, Jack, God bless America, and her brave pioneers!

Those Wonderful Wires and What They Whisper
Our intrepid tech whizzes are at it again, Jack, showing off their marvelous new 'thinking' boxes at the U.N., warning us all about, well, something or other. Sounds like a big to-do over these clever contraptions, and I just hope they don't get too smart for their own good!
