The barista was the answer all along. A follow-up to “Machines vs. Intelligence” on the hybrid: intelligence mounted inside a machine, from autopilots and adaptive cruise to robots and Dune’s Butlerian Jihad, and why the autonomy dial is the control that matters most.
A Star Trek replicator could out-cook, out-brew, and out-build any single-purpose machine ever built. So why does the espresso machine still win? A look at what separates a fixed design from open-ended intelligence, and why designing machines might be the real opportunity AI opens up.
