Ooh, nice ending there. I like this story quite a bit.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.

Good job, Freudian.
I love stories about non-evil AIs.
it would be a vindictive waste to eliminate the first AI with the capability for art
My favourite line.
I'm very pleased that you're using my take on the Ethics Committee.
(I should have the post converted into a proper stand-alone document by Wednesday.)
'Cute" and "accidentally killed eleven million people, while experimenting" don't go together.
In this line of work, they very well COULD go together- or if they don't, they still might as well. With 231, of course, we may be there already.
Moscow. Why does it always have to be Moscow? The city is as anomalous as cities do, but why would it be a target for the Foundation?
Otherwise, a neat little story.
Moscow had the nicest ring to it - and if I said "LA" or "Detroit" they'd think "shit, I had an aunt/cousin there" and it'd be a downer. But nobody here gives a fuck about Russia, so my nuclear AI can incinerate millions to comic effect!
EDIT: I swear that sounded better in my head. Somehow. I'm an idiot and I apologise.
Freudian, you realize this is not a US specific website, right? And that the Russian language sister site project is kind of a huge thing?
…And that Gene R is the admin for said Russian language wiki?
Yeah, if you want no one to care about it, picking a Russian city is probably the second worst thing after picking a US/UK city. :P
(Also, if chat is any indication, we have a ton of readers from all kinds of countries.)
At least two from every continent including Antarctica except mainland Africa, in fact.
I know this is a necro but holy shit we have readers in Antarctica?!?
Also, holy shit, there's internet service in Antarctica?!?
Like, how long has this been going on? Do they depend on government satellites to get signals or something, or has some private company agreed to string out wires and erect towers down there? What kind of rates do they get charged? Like, I almost understand why and how Metallica was able to perform down there, but how are they able to get internet?! Also, are we so awesome that people with a bitching job title like Antarctic explorer want to read our stuff on their downtime? That's kickass!!
… this seems to be a…
((puts on glasses))
Freudian slip.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
As a suggestion, change it to New York for the Russian language wiki.
It's only fair…
We'll stick to the original for dramatic effect. Many non-Muscovites will support this AI with loud cheers.
What I wanted to know was "How did that not evolve into a full-scale World War III?"
One of our users reminded that there are about 6 nuclear reactors in and around Moscow so thar problem will quickly be solved by mass media.
