Moore’s Law means that more and more things can be done
practically for free, if only it weren’t for those people who want to be paid.
People are the flies in Moore’s Law’s ointment. When machines get incredibly
cheap to run, people seem correspondingly expensive.
— From Jaron Lanier’s new book, “Who Owns the Future?”
