@jalefkowit I watched a video recently about Perry’s parry on Lake Erie, and the narrator excitedly compared it to Nelson’s maneuvers in the Battle of Trafalgar. We really need a Master and Commander quality movie about the Battle of Lake Erie, including the Winter at Misery Bay, and lessons learned. :D

I'm all for advancing #technology, but when it's done purely for profit I assume, based on history, that such advancements will ultimately do much significant harm along with any good that may be achieved.

#LLM's and #AI have a long way to go before they're an existential threat to humanity on their own.

It's advances in the melding of technology and #biology that are as likely to doom us as save us, for now.
