So-called A.I. may be the asbestos of the 21st Century.
Imagine all the future work to remove the harms it's causing.
Any specfic short story (preferably flash) recommendations on the topic?
It's a while since I read "The Man in Asbestos," but it describes much of the world and A.I. right now.
@alexharford.bsky.socialWhat's a funny/intriguing anachronism you read in sci-fi?
In The Man in Asbestos, a #ShortStory by Stephen Leacock, everyone wears asbestos suits:
"They last hundreds of years. We have one suit each, and there are billions piled up, if anybody wants a new one."
