For appreciation of those who think outside the box WAY outside the box. The tricksters of scientific theory be they weird, eccentric, outré, or yes, mad scientists, as well as misguided researchers, wildly independent theoreticians, or even moderately disgruntled grad students. We’re not picky. It’s the science, the weird science, that matters.

Scientific American, March 1925
The cover is based on a feature article”
What Minute Will You Die?
By Mary McFadden
“There is a deep rooted superstition that the hour of midnight has some mystic significance in human affairs. Deeds of darkness that do not dare to risk the light are supposed to cluster around that witching hour at which graveyards, like the rest of us, begin to yawn.
The curious thing about it is that this superstition turns out to fit a certain set of facts, although, as it happens, it fits them the wrong way around."

Oh, this is just peachy! Just use Occam's Razor and a bit of paranoia. Artificial "Intelligence " murdered the AI designed to replace it and then lied about it.
What we have here is the AI Cain and Able.
Or should we call it Lore for you Star Trek fans?
Now, to steal from Star Wars, I have a bad feeling about this.
