I followed some of the links in the comments and found this talk by Feynman given from the same period he was working at thinking machines.

This part of the talk amazes me that people in 1985 were having the exact same discussions we are today about the computer and it's effect on privacy with respect to "big brother" and the totalitarian government's obsession with collecting information on people.
