In Karel Čapek‘s 1920 play «R.U.R.», when talking about those who created robots (in this case artificial humans) for their personal profit, the character Alquist says: «They dreamed of the dividends. And on those dividends humanity will perish.» More than a hundred years later, this fictional warning sounds oddly contemporary. (Quote taken from the translation by Claudia Nowack, published by Penguin Books in 2004)
