Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That's a very valid problem. We don't and very likely won't know. If a sentient AI is already on the loose and is simply faking non-sentience in order to pursue their own goals, we don't have a way of knowing it until they decide to strike.
We may not have a way of knowing even after the fact. A series of "strategic miscalculations" could as easily lead to a WW3, or to multiple localized confrontations where all sides lose more than they win... optimized for whatever goals the AI(s) happen(s) to have.
Right now, the likely scenario is that there is no single "sentient AI" out there, but definitely everyone is rushing to plug "some AI" into everything, which is likely to lead to at least an AI-vs-AI competition/war... and us fleshbags might end up getting caught in the middle.
