I just noticed that so many terrible people are associated with "AI" - that can't possibly be a coincidence.

Some slaver in middle ages:
"Our industry would vanish if we are banned from trading people."🤬

@FandaSin @haubles I had the same thought. I just finished reading a book about the (American) Civil War. The Southerners' argument for slavery was that they couldn't maintain their economy without slave labor. They thought the UK and maybe France would support them (though slavery was banned there) because those countries needed the cotton that the South exported. One prominent Southerner popularized the slogan "Cotton is King."

@tc_morekindness @FandaSin Was it The Demon of Unrest by Erik Larson? If so, I just read that too!

@haubles @FandaSin Yes! I'm in a book club, and we discussed it Monday night. That's interesting that you just read it too.

@tc_morekindness @FandaSin your book club has great taste! I love Erik Larson’s work, he really makes history come alive
