If we build these devices [...] eventually they'll think faster than us and they'll get rid of the slow humans.

Quote verified. Steve Wozniak said this in a March 2015 interview with the Australian Financial Review, picked up by Washington Post, GameSpot, The Drum, Consumerist, and others. The full passage: "If we build these devices to take care of everything for us, eventually they'll think faster than us and they'll get rid of the slow humans to run companies more efficiently." The [...] in the YouCongress quote elides "to take care of everything for us". Source URL (Washington Post) was 403-blocked but the wording is widely corroborated. Author attribution to Steve Wozniak is correct, year 2015 is correct, and vote "for" on "AI poses an existential threat to humanity" correctly aligns with the quote. Note: Wozniak has at times softened his stance in later interviews, but he reaffirmed concerns in 2023 in the Future of Life Institute "pause" letter.
