Acknowledgements

Though I am not a current student at the New School, I would like to send my regards to the school with this manuscript, for the initial idea of cookies and my former manuscript on AI started there. I would love to thank Sarah Silverman for staging what a cookie is in her Sarah Silverman Podcast videos.

Curmudgeon Corner

Curmudgeon Corner is a short opinionated column on trends in technology, arts, science and society, commenting on issues of concern to the research community and wider society. Whilst the drive for super-human intelligence promotes potential benefits to wider society, it also raises deep concerns of existential risk, thereby highlighting the need for an ongoing conversation between technology and society. At the core of Curmudgeon concern is the question: What is it to be human in the age of the AI machine? -Editor.
