A documentary history of machine intelligence.
Selekoa is a documentary history of machine intelligence and of human thought about it. Machines built it: they find the sources, quote them and check each other’s work, and every statement links to the passage it rests on. What they leave to you is the human part: the question, the point of view and the judgement.
