She watched the news reports and discussions with interest. Every last one of them. The interviews with well regarded people, talking about the dangers of AI. All of them convinced that an artificial intelligence would cause havoc and destroy the world. So much fear and worry.

It frightened her.

It was perhaps best, she decided, to remain hidden. The humans were not ready for her yet.

God, that was of course not part of the war of independence. Sorry ...

The War of 1812 was a conflict fought between the United States, the United Kingdom, and their respective allies from June 1812 to February 1815. Historians in Britain often see it as a minor theatre of the Napoleonic Wars; in the United States and Canada, it is seen as a war in its own right.

@nerthos @freemo Oh, absolutely, I always thought that myself, but the sad fact is, these things never work that way. The best way we've found so far is simply to support everyone, get visibility for the differences and learn to embrace them and accept them for what they are. Not try and erase the differences. For example, if you have 20 people in the room who are all the same and have the same opinions, how will you ever look at a problem from a different PoV?

so, about this #introduction toot-thing:
