This preposterousness has nothing to do with the possibility, say, of artificial intelligence developing to the point of consciousness...

... applications—artificial intelligence, cryptanalysis, cybernetics, and modern genetics—are fundamentally tied to the biopolitical concerns of the state to define life and deal out death.
