RE: Who wrote the lines of poetry "quoted" by Lincoln at the Soldiers' Home?
(01-30-2016 11:05 PM)David Lockmiller Wrote: General James Grant Wilson informed Lincoln that Scottish poet William Knox was the author. Thanks. I couldn't remember the general's name (there were O so many generals, weren't there?) and didn't feel like trying to look it up.

There is a much older movie (and even older story) about self-aware machines, Colossus: The Forbin Project, from 1970, which I saw on TV many, many years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossus%3...in_Project I have endured a great deal of ridicule without much malice; and have received a great deal of kindness, not quite free from ridicule. I am used to it. (Letter to James H. Hackett, November 2, 1863) |
