@happyborg@fosstodon.org This is true, and had Alan Turing not existed, WWII likely would have cost far more lives. You'd think people could show a little gratitude! But I worry about justifying our existence by pointing out how we can be useful to everyone else. It feels a bit like this Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer meme about deviants only being tolerated if they can be exploited. I'd rather we were treated decently even when we lack superpowers that make us a profitable hiring decision.
