Ethel Cain Genius Novels & Stories

"You're still thinking about her." "I can't stop. None of it makes sense. Helena was the most ethical person I knew. She built Eidos to help people—medical diagnostics, climate modeling, educational tools. She used to say that AI without ethics was just warfare by other means.
