Verified: the WIRED article "Why the Future Doesn’t Need Us" (April 1, 2000) is authored by Bill Joy, and it contains the full sentence from which this quote is taken. In line 155, Joy says he may be "working to create tools" that may "replace our species," followed immediately by "How do I feel about this? Very uncomfortable." The user's [...] is a faithful omission, so the quote is real, verbatim in substance, and correctly attributed. ([wired.com](https://www.wired.com/2000/04/joy-2/))
