TRACES OF THIS CRAZE ARE STILL WITH US IN THE PREVALENCE OF THE WORD “CYBER” TO DENOTE ANYTHING TO DO WITH COMPUTERS, ALTHOUGH THE WORD MEANS NOT “COMPUTATION”, BUT “CONTROL”.

If users wish to reap the full benefit of autonomous systems, they need to submit to them on the terms of those systems, yielding their data for consumption in a form that the systems can understand. They need to be willing to become part of a control loop — to become automatons themselves! The genealogy of cybernetics makes this danger clear. Cybernetics was forged in war. The lens cybernetics places on human behaviour is the lens of the gunner, implacable and detached.
