Eh. Would you say that "humans aren't capable of evil. Evolution makes them that way"?

But humans are sapient and have rebelled against evolution, whereas machines aren't and just do what humans tell them.

The problem is that this may change in the future, and a blog sponsored by the organization that's trying to prevent exactly that is probably not the right place to post such a quote.

I might, if I was a god talking to other gods. And if I was a gun talking to other guns, I'd tell them to shut up about humans and take responsibility for their own bullets.
