I was on a pro vs anti ai panel the other day and this is what I was trying to say but I’m not as smart
The point of playing a game of chess is not to achieve the quickest possible route to victory for one side in a chess game, it is to have and perform those thoughts and actions yourself and grow.

I love this happy, derpy wolf so much 🥰
Let's learn about the Wonky Wolf of Leeds.
Discovered 1840 in Aldborough, North Yorkshire, the mosaic dates to ~300 AD & probably represents a Roman provincial artist's attempt to tell the story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a she-wolf, the founding myth of Rome.
