uses its intelligence mainly
to create hierarchies
in order to conquer and control
its surroundings,
and now to create
and control more powerful
and competitive intelligences
which it will inevitably,
at last powerlessly, hate.

'A man walks on the Kolyma highway, nicknamed “the road of bones”. It was built in the 1930s by political prisoners held in the gulags, and links the port town of Magadan to the town of Nizhny Bestiakh.
The construction, which lasted until Stalin’s death in 1953, claimed between 250,000 and 1 million lives.
They are buried next to or directly under the 1,219-mile (1,961 km) road, part of which is still not finished as it is an extremely difficult project despite modern equipment.'
