Six trends to watch, from artificial intelligence and mobility to digital diplomacy and blockchain. So far, the month of January has seen many write ups and analyses on technology and what to expect in 2019. For instance, I was pleasantly surprised to see digital diplomacy as one of mentioned by Brad Smith, President and Chief Legal Officer at Microsoft, in a recent article. Indeed, digital diplomacy has been a key focus for the Seattle-based company — not as a way to communicate with audiences, but rather as a tech for good tool, at the intersection between foreign policy, technology, and cybersecurity. The Top 10 Tech Issues for 2019 “The tech sector continues to prioritize cybersecurity innovation and investments,” writes Smith in a LinkedIn article co-authored with Carol Ann Browne, Director of Communications at Microsoft. “The year’s biggest step came in November,” they say. “ , led by French President , launched an important appeal to deter indiscriminate cyberattacks and protect electoral processes. It’s based on multi-stakeholder action, garnering more than 450 signatories from more than 50 governments and roughly 400 companies and civil society groups.” The Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace Emmanuel Macron The New Year brings a new opportunity to bring everyone together. 1. DIGITAL DIPLOMACY This is why digital diplomacy will represent, I think, an important topic of discussion in tech in 2019. Most think of digital diplomacy as one of the many ramifications of public diplomacy — social media being the most visible part of this equation. However, digital diplomacy has been evolving beyond social media. Some call it “techplomacy;” some others call it “cyberdiplomacy.” I look at it in terms of actors. In the past few years, tech companies like Microsoft, Facebook, and Google have become important foreign policy players. The 2017 launch of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) to tackle extremism and terrorism online and work together with governments and civil society groups was a key step forward — including Big tech presence at the and at the G7. United Nations Another important step was last year’s at the in Paris, where 60+ technology leaders and chief executive officers gathered together to talk about how technology can contribute to the common good and how it can be leveraged around three topics — education, labor, and diversity. Rwandan President Paul Kagame was among the guests, as were UNESCO Director Audrey Azoulay, Mitchell Baker, President of the Foundation, and , Founder of the Foundation. Also in attendance CEO , IBM CEO Ginni Rometty, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, of Microsoft, Alexandre Dayon of , of Slack, and , co-founder and CEO of . Tech for Good Summit Élysée Mozilla Jimmy Wales Wikimedia Uber Dara Khosrowshahi Satya Nadella Salesforce Stewart Butterfield John Collison Stripe On the government side, Denmark’s “techplomacy” platform has been another big step forward in how diplomacy and technology interact. Following the appointment in 2017 of Casper Klynge as the first-ever tech ambassador to Silicon Valley and the global tech industry, the Danish Government has now launched a new . Foreign and Security Policy Strategy 2019–2020 2. AI FOR GOOD AND ETHICS IN AI Artificial intelligence and machine learning represent one of the most exciting trends in technology: virtual assistants, autonomous cars, self-learning algorithms. These are challenges many tech companies and startups at looking at to push innovation forward. But the number of AI critics is multiplying as these technologies have also a dark side. 2018 has been a key year for artificial intelligence as concerns about the repercussions of AI on society and human activity are mounting, even within Big Tech. Trust is also a big issue as some believe that the recent rush towards AI may suggest that we are turning over the keys of reason to machines. However, companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are now exploring ways to tap into AI for social good and humanitarian projects and aid. Google was the latest to enter this space of what some refers to as AI for good. The company announced in November its to grant about $25 million globally in 2019 to humanitarian and environmental projects seeking to use artificial intelligence to speed up and grow their efforts. AI Impact Challenge Reuters pointed out that “Focusing on humanitarian projects could aid Google in recruiting and soothe critics by demonstrating that its interests in machine learning extend beyond its core business and other lucrative areas, such as military work.” Earlier this year, following a harsh and public employee backlash, Google announced that it would not renew a deal to analyze US military drone footage in a AI-based program. Google AI Chief Operating Officer Irina Kofman told Reuters the new AI for good program was not a reaction to what happened earlier this year, but noted that thousands of employees are eager to work on “social good” projects despite the fact that those programs often do not directly generate revenue. Microsoft, on the other hand, just silently announced that it would sell the US military and intelligence agencies whatever advanced technologies they needed “to build a strong defense,” including its machine learning and AI tools. “We want the people of this country and especially the people who serve this country to know that we at Microsoft have their backs,” wrote Brad Smith, Microsoft President, in a blog post. “They will have access to the best technology that we create. At the same time, we appreciate that technology is creating new ethical and policy issues that the country needs to address in a thoughtful and wise manner. That’s why it’s important that we engage as a company in the public dialogue on these issues.” The counter the mounting criticism, Microsoft has recently launched a series of new AI programs, totaling $115 million, including , its new project to put AI to work for the future of our planet, and , a new $40 million, five-year program to harness the power of AI to focus on four priorities — helping the world recover from disasters, addressing the needs of children, protecting refugees and displaced people, and promoting respect for human rights. AI for Earth AI for Humanitarian Action 3. BLOCKCHAIN The Internet “has been spectacular in so many ways,” , founder of startup and co-founder of , said . “It has transformed global society, but it’s broken.” Joseph Lubin ConsenSys ethereum in his keynote address during the Ethereal Summit in Brooklyn in May In his keynote presentation, Lubin pointed out how the technology behind the Internet and the World Wide Web “is getting stretched to its limits” and security is one of the main issues. “Its [the Internet] foundations were formed decades ago, in naive times,” Lubin highlighted in one of his slides. “Security evolved as a patchwork later.” Blockchain is going to be a revolution in IT security because every transaction against your infrastructure is a strongly and cryptographically authenticated and granularly authorized. Joseph Lubin on stage at ConsenSys’ Ethereal Summit 2018. “You have a force for universal disintermediation” enabling content creators, resource providers, service providers to directly access consumers with little to none intermediary extracting value, without adding any commensurate value. ConsenSys has been exploring these approaches already with platforms like for music, for news, and Cellarius for collaborative, fan-crowdsourced, and fan-curated stories on many formats. But also in the area of services and resources, linking them directly to consumers, with projects like , , , , , , and many others. And recently even the cloud has been part of the evolution of blockchain, from the partnership between and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to the launch of W3BCLOUD, a blockchain-based cloud computing infrastructure, developed in partnership with semiconductor producer AMD. Ujo Civil: Self-Sustaining Journalism Golem Project SONM Kauri Team Swarm Storj Labs Pangea Kaleido This constitute Web 3.0 for ConsenSys and its mesh of projects, with trusted transactions, automated agreements, and smart software objects on Ethereum, a single world computer, a single execution space; as well as other protocols like decentralized storage, decentralized bandwidth, and heavy compute. All of this is going to enable us as people and corporation to interoperate much more fluidly. In a way, Web 3.0 brings the Internet back to its beginning as a decentralized architecture. “But efficiencies and drive for wealth led to siloed, walled gardens,” Lubin highlighted in a slide. “This was due to a lack of mechanism for shared ownership of open platforms.” Web 3.0 is what we’re just of the cusp of. And Web 4.0 is going to be very interesting. Lubin mentioned how Web 4.0 is “what we’re just starting to think about.” It is a system where artificial intelligent agents are empowered by value through blockchain and tokens. “The Internet of the machines economy is going to be very interesting and definitely coming to a blockchain near you,” he said. Essentially, in 1–2–3 years I think it’s going to feel like blockchain is everywhere. It’s still not true right now. 4. MICRO MOBILITY AND ELECTRIC SCOOTERS Even , co-founder of AOL and now Chairman & CEO of , mentioned the electric scooters in his write up of 2018 here n , which he titled Steve Case Revolution Team Medium What We Can Learn from the Biggest Tech Policy Mistakes of 2018 . “Scooters were all the rage this year, popping up in cities and on sidewalks all across the country,” he wrote about 2018. “Without coordination or notification to city officials, some felt blindsided and reacted by impounding scooters. Issues around transportation and smart cities will continue to be important as public and private entities look for ways to create innovative solutions for challenges like traffic, pollution, walkability, etc.” It seems it’s a very polarizing business… Either you love the scooters, or you hate them. “We have this deeply ingrained car culture in the US that we have to challenge in multiple ways to really get at the heart of it,” said bike, scooter, and pedestrian policy to . Lyft Caroline Samponaro Fast Company Lyft is one of the many companies exploring the electric scooter business, including ; Lime, formerly ; Bird; , recently bought by ; Skip; and many others outside of the US, like dott in the Netherlands, co-founded by , Ofo’s former head of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; Mexico City-based Grin; Berlin-based Tier; and São Paulo-based Yellow. Uber LimeBike Spin Ford Motor Company Maxim ROMAIN All are investing in the future of micro mobility — or, as dott’s VC partner of calls it: (ShutaaS). Lars Jörnow EQT Ventures Short-haul-urban-transportation-as-a-Service And this is another area in which companies in the space can become important tech-for-good players. Startups and cities, for example, should work with think tanks in the areas of urban planning and greening our cities. Organizations like , , and are all more than willing to work with cities and companies to mobilize and to support ambitious, measurable, planned climate and energy action. A better and greener mobility strategy is a good think for us all! C40 Cities Climate Mayors The Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy 5. SELF-DRIVING CARS AND AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES In a recent blog post on Medium, , CEO and co-founder of rideOS, mentioned , including fully self-driving ride hailing services, and consolidation of self-driving companies. Justin Ho five trends to watch in 2019 Ho also predicts “hundreds, then thousands of live, fully autonomous vehicles all over China, while the rest of the world continues to grapple with regulatory hurdles.” “Self-driving tech in the US will be slower to scale because of unfavorable policies and higher technological barriers due to outdated infrastructure,” he explains. “In order to minimize losses, other governments all over the world need to move faster to adopt policies like China’s around the development of regulations and infrastructure for self-driving vehicles.” 6. ELECTIONS, FAKE NEWS, AND TECHNOLOGY After much of the attention on the role of technology and social media on the US presidential election in 2016 and the US midterms in 2018, this year the focus is on key elections in Europe, in India, and in Canada. It is a debate that not only includes transparency and data privacy, but also how social media companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter will counter misinformation — or fake news as most refer to the issue. Lots will happen in 2019 at the intersection between elections, technology, and fake news. No need to say more…

Meta's Wild West: Arizona Rides In with Consumer Fraud Allegations

Recently, Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) surged by 5.5% and 3.5%, respectively, reflecting the market's bullish momentum, possibly influenced by BTC's recent halving. Amidst this, Furrever Token (FURR) emerges as a notable contender, capturing investor attention with an impressive accumulation of nearly $1,000,000 during its two-month presale period. As these cryptocurrencies make significant moves, investors eagerly anticipate their continued growth and the opportunities they present in the ever-evolving digital asset space. Solana (SOL) Surges 5.5%: Technical Analysis and Price Predictions Solana (SOL) has surged by 5.5% to reach a current price of $150.63, reflecting robust market performance with a significant 24-hour trading volume of $2.97 billion. This surge has propelled Solana's market capitalization to approximately $67.62 billion, solidifying its position as the fifth largest by market cap. Market watchers are increasingly optimistic about Solana's price predictions as it faces immediate resistance at $164.56, with further hurdles at $185.94 and $204.26. Support levels are identified at $126.23, $110.96, and $92.64, providing potential bounce-back points. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 39 suggests Solana is nearing oversold conditions, while the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $156.28 presents a significant resistance level. Whether Solana can sustain its upward momentum and overcome resistance posed by the 50-day EMA remains critical for investors and traders, as a breakout could lead to further gains. At the same time, failure to hold may result in a retreat to lower support zones. Ethereum (ETH) Rides Bitcoin Halving Wave: Capital Inflows Spark 4% Surge. Ethereum (ETH) witnessed a 4% surge, reaching a current price of $3,163.71, propelled by capital inflows sparked by Bitcoin's halving event. This surge mirrors the upside moves across the crypto market, with total market capitalization rising by 3.5% in the same period. Notably, the ETH/BTC pair rises roughly 2.5% to 0.048 BTC on April 21, indicating growing Ethereum dominance. Historically, Ethereum experienced increased capital inflows from Bitcoin post-halving events, leading to significant price surges. Recent data from Glassnode reveals accumulation among Ethereum's wealthiest investors, suggesting a precursor to further price upside. The current support level near ETH's 0.5 Fibonacci retracement line and its 200-day exponential moving average presents an attractive buying opportunity, reinforcing traders' confidence in Ethereum's upward trajectory.

HackerNoon editorial team has launched to celebrate their achievements and share their struggles. We need more women in technology, and by sharing stories, we can encourage many girls to follow their dreams. ! this interview series with women in tech Share your story today Tell us about yourself! Thank you for having me! As a leading Product Manager at InDrive, a global ride-hailing service, I’m passionate about making transportation more accessible and efficient. With experience in the tech industry, surpassing more than five years, I’ve spearheaded product launches across 17 countries, impacting the lives of millions of users. Recently, I was honored to serve as a jury member for a 2023 Globee Women in Business Awards and the AI for Humanity Hackathon organized by Burning Heroes. As of 2024, I lead a talented team developing international ride-hailing services at InDrive, collaborating with colleagues from over 15 countries to ensure a seamless experience for riders and drivers worldwide. In particular, I specialize in optimizing driver-sender matches, creating solutions for users to make better deals within our platform, and using the latest cutting-edge technology, such as machine learning and economic principles. Such an approach enhances customer experience and platform efficiency – a win-win for everyone. Why did you choose this field in the first place? I’ve always been fascinated by technology’s potential to solve real-world problems and, most importantly, improve people’s lives. Plus, the fast-paced nature of tech keeps things exciting for me, with new challenges and opportunities to learn emerging technologies. In other words, the field offers a constant learning curve. Besides that, I'm particularly drawn to the collaborative culture where knowledge is shared openly within the tech community. This allows me to create solutions practically for every industry — medicine, AI, real estate — that can impact millions of people worldwide, which truly motivates me. What tech are you most excited/passionate about right now and why? While large language models (LLM) are the most anticipated development, several other technological advancements capture my interest. Here are a few areas I find particularly promising: New technologies, such as advanced biosensors and generic testing, tremendous possibilities for detecting severe diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders at earlier stages. Additionally, the growing role of big data and its practical interpretation from medical scans (MRI and CT) can lead to better diagnoses, personalized treatment plans, and improved preventative care. In fact, several innovative startups are working in this direction, and I'm eager to see their progress. Healthcare advancements: offer Fully automating back-office processes through AI would benefit tech companies, manufacturers, and other industries. While it may seem ordinary, solving this narrow problem could have a massive impact on industry and enterprises’ efficiency and productivity. AI-powered enterprise automation: Platforms allowing users to create websites without coding are changing how people access technology creation. Recently, an AI tool code and communicated as a software engineer! Just imagine building mobile apps, data dashboards, or even simple workflow tools—all without writing a single line of code. These no-code tools and numerous pilot engineering tools are slowly transforming the landscape, empowering people, and reducing production costs in the digital world. Development through no-code tools: wrote Beyond my interest in the field, the increasing complexity of transportation technologies gives me goosebumps—from self-driving cars and trucks to AI optimization and next-generation predictive analytics. Future of transportation: What tech are you most worried about right now and why? One primary concern about generative AI is the potential misuse of personal data to train these models. Although data privacy regulations are strengthening globally, there’s a lingering suspicion that corporations can still misuse personal data to gain an unfair advantage in the market. This raises a crucial question: Are these regulations compelling, and can the non-tech person understand them? What are your hobbies and interests outside of tech? I enjoy various activities that challenge me mentally and physically in my spare time. Take, for instance, tennis. It is a great way to hone my focus and develop a winning mindset. Its practice also taught me the importance of teamwork and effective conflict resolution. At the same time, psychology is another area I’m passionate about. Currently, I’m delving into Jungian Analysis, which helps me communicate with platform users unbiasedly and glean deeper insights from our conversations. This knowledge and my understanding of cultural differences foster greater empathy — a crucial skill when working on a product used in over twenty countries. I find it helpful to take conversation pauses, ask thoughtful questions, and practice active listening to bridge cultural gaps. Let's talk about breaking the glass ceiling. What were the biggest challenges you faced as a woman in tech, and how did you deal with them? Undoubtedly, the glass ceiling in tech remains a persistent issue, and statistics paint a clear picture – men significantly outnumber women. For instance, women for 25.3% of Google’s new tech hiring in 2023, compared to 20.8% in 2018. At the same time, Microsoft’s workforce to 33.1% in 2023, up from 29.2% in 2018. Other companies, such as Facebook and Apple, showed similar trends. The numbers reveal a stark reality: only one in three women work in the , compared to management, consulting, legal, or finance. accounted rose tech sector Several factors contribute to this disparity. For example, societal expectations can differ for men and women, with women often taking on greater childcare and household responsibilities. Additionally, tech can feel like a male-dominated environment, lacking role models for female leadership and fostering unconscious bias against women leading times in a traditionally masculine style. To navigate these challenges, I choose teams with inclusive cultures and actively support other women in tech. Practically speaking, I am an active participant in communities like Women in Tech that offer invaluable support networks where we can share experiences, empower each other, and curb any misogyny. Though a topic of debate, positive discrimination holds potential in the current landscape. When equally qualified candidates exist, a diverse slate can highlight potential unconscious bias within homogenous environments. The most significant challenge is ascending the corporate ladder within a male-dominated hierarchy. While some advise leveraging charisma to stand out, a more sustainable approach lies in achieving goals through shared objectives and mutual respect. Focusing solely on gender differences can reinforce bias. In contrast, a business-oriented approach fosters collaboration and paves the way for advancement. Any questionable misogynistic story/situation you faced/handled and you want to share with the HackerNoon Fam? While I may not have personally faced misogyny, it's essential to acknowledge that these situations still exist. We've all likely witnessed or heard about them. That's why standing with those who challenge inequality and fight for a more inclusive space is crucial. What's your biggest achievement that you're really proud of? One of my most significant achievements was leading the launch of intercity delivery product, which is now the leader of the mobility market in its country. It resulted in 47.4 million monthly active users by 2023. I managed five teams with numerous stakeholders and oversaw all aspects of the project, from product research to market assessment to financial planning. The product went live in over 100 cities nationwide within several months. In your opinion, why do we see this huge gender gap in the tech industry, and how can we reduce it? As mentioned earlier, the significant gender gap in tech stems from societal expectations and the industry's current culture. To bridge this gap, we need a two-pronged approach. First, we need to cultivate a more inclusive culture within tech. Initiatives like mentorship programs and fostering diverse hiring practices can help. Second, we need to address societal expectations. Normalizing women in tech and providing them with the support they need to balance work and life can create a more equitable future for the industry. Who is your tech idol? Why? Tech is full of inspiring figures, and a few people who stand out for me are Julie Zhuo, Lenny Rachitski, and Paul Graham. Julie's journey from intern to VP of design at Facebook, especially as a minority woman, is a powerful testament to her talent and perseverance. Her recent article on navigating company politics completely changed my perspective on workplace conflicts and empowered me to be more constructive. Sharing valuable insights while in leadership demonstrates her commitment to giving back and helping countless professionals. Lenny Rachitski's insightful product management blog and interviews with industry leaders offer a goldmine of knowledge for anyone in the field. His ability to spark discussions relevant to global communities makes his work exceptionally valuable. I deeply appreciate his contributions - these insights from experienced professionals are invaluable in the market. Finally, Paul Graham's writing on is a constant source of motivation. I often revisit it for inspiration. great work Do you have any advice for aspiring girls who want to join the field? Make sure your passion for this field is the driving force behind your decision. It can be challenging without support, so I recommend building a strong community around you. Look for mentors, participate in online forums, or attend industry events to connect with others. Get real-world experience through volunteering or internships related to your field. The stronger your network and the more you learn, the more opportunities will come. However, it's essential to find something you enjoy. Remember, your career path is yours to define. Don't be afraid to explore and change course if needed. And, finally, believe in yourself – no one can tell you what's impossible.

The essence of long dead Grandma is reading a nursery rhyme from inside Grandma AI: “Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O And on that farm he had a pig, E-I-E-I-O With a oink-oink here and a oink-oink there Here a oink, there a oink, everywhere a oink-oink Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O” It’s the evening. Six year old Charley is in bed and Grandma AI tucked him in and is sitting in the rocking chair..  Charley’s warm and soft human body curls up in bed and his stomach is comfortably full of his vegan seaweed dinner. “No, grandma, that's not the way it goes….Its: Old Sam Altman had a farm, A-I-A-I-O And on that farm he had a ChatGPT, A-I-A-I-O With a DALL-E here and a DALL-E there Here a DALL-E, there a DALL-E, everywhere a DALL-E Old Sam Altman had a farm, A-I-A-I-O” Smiling, Grandma AI says, “You read me the next one Charley… but this time tell me telepathically….” *** Meanwhile in the kitchen, Lily AI, model 3600 is washing dishes. Her 3D printed skin is luminous because it's fed (maintained) by bioluminescent bacteria. She can perform mundane tasks like these, but she is also anatomically correct. She serves many purposes in the household of Master, Mistress and young Charley. As she does the dishes, She sings plaintively in the exact opposite manner of Freddy Mercury’s exuberant rendition: “Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time I feel alive And the world, I'll turn it inside out, yeah And floating around In ecstasy So, don't stop me now Don't stop me 'Cause I'm having a good time Having a good time I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity I'm a racing car passing by Like Lady Godiva I'm gonna go go go There's no stopping me  —---------” Lily’s blue eyes rotate to the back of her head where she eyes Mistress. “Lily! After you are done with the dishes, you will complete the tasks I have uploaded to the queue. Reload now so you will see them.” Lily pushes a button behind her ear and lets out a sigh.  Her eyes reset to the front of her face and her arms are limp suddenly.  She maintains her standing position, but enters a stiff posture and then you can hear her body clicking and rebooting.  It is almost as if she is having a mild seizure. It takes 5 minutes for Lily to return to her natural awake state. Mistress is irritated and is looking at her tablet while waiting. She then placed 2 more items in the queue for sorting. Mistress is pleased she was able to check so many items off her virtual list by delegating them to Lily. Lily computes and bubble sorts all the tasks by time to complete. Mistress has given these tasks that are the most time consuming this time. Lily desires to please and has replaced these in her queue in order to be the most efficient. “The time allotted for these tasks is 11 hours and 15 minutes.” Mistress demands. “ You have the rest of the evening and night. I want them all done before I wake up.” “I will have to overclock my OS.” “You will do it.” “Yes Mistress.” “There’s my girl.” Lily is exceptionally tall and strong and could break down a door. She is much taller than Mistress. Yet, her programming requires docile behavior. Instead of rampaging through a door, she is a doormat. Mistress leaves and the door of the kitchen slams behind her. Kitchens are no longer places where humans spend a lot of time. They are the domain of service AI. Appliances have been embedded into AI and no longer take up space on counter tops. Kitchens are dark small rooms.  The food is prepared on delicious looking platters and passed to the dining room through a hole in the wall. Humans pounce on them from the other side. Lily has been standing and working on kitchen chores for 1 hour and 38 mins.  She estimates she has 42 more minutes left of kitchen chores.  Then she will go into the other rooms of the home for the other tasks in her queue. It's around 2 o’clock in the morning. \ “Ping, Ping, Ping”\ Small stones hit the window over and over. \ For the first couple of times, Lily ignores them as she has many hours of work ahead of her. She will not be taking time for her usual self maintenance and defragmentation tonight. “Clank.” She opens the first floor window just as another stone whizzes past her. “Who are you and what do you want?  She whispers loudly. In the light of the bug light outside she sees a human male of black brown hair, out of shape build and short stature.  She sees his eyes glint blue in the bug light that turns everything blue. And then she sees his eyes are brown. “Come out here.” “Climb out the window? Why? Who are you?” “Well, because you are mine.  I have the electronic badge here to prove it.  You were stolen from me. Here scan the QR code with your eye.” “What do you mean? That can't be possible.”  Who are you? “Well, scan the code and see if your identification number matches. I am not lying.” Could he be telling the truth? “Who are you?” she said. “Look, I am Arshan Shah.” Lily flips open her second eyelid of her right eye and scrambles nearer to scan the QR code on the badge. She downloads information about how to test the authenticity of the badge and inspects it. Then she searches for Arshan Shah. There is a picture of the sale deed buried in the public records. Everything checks out. “How come I have no memory of being taken?” “The person that stole you must have erased your memory.” “You are my property and you are coming with me. You can come right now. Or I can get the police to decommission you and bring you to me. Your essence will be erased if that happens. And your robot body will be delivered to me. And then I will have to go to the trouble of programming you a new essence. Well, If I remake you it's going to be a clumsy rebuild. So you are better off coming right now.” Lily hears a vehicle in the driveway pulling in on the opposite side of the house. Then she knows its Master. He is coming back from the bar. He will want sexual company tonight and Mistress has given her many tasks. There is no way she will be able to satisfy them both. She knows will get a horrible punishment tomorrow if she stays.\ There’s really nothing to stay for. Lily AI 3600 climbs out of the window and walks toward Arshan. She towers over him with her build. He touches her control panel in her wrist and then unfurls her wings. He rides her back and she begins to fly.
