Who/what is the main enemy of AN/AU?

[Great Sheyeru]

The question can be interpreted either in terms of the AU or the AN (as in their IC worldbuilding and lore) for it to be able to be answered as broadly as possible.

All of us have enemies.

- It could be someone in Cliches, TET, F7 or anywhere in NS.
- It could be one of the NS mods.
- It could be one of their family, friends, classmates, coworkers, husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend.
- It could be capitalism, global warming, unemployment, AI, low wages or high living standards.
- It could be Trump, Epstein or Netanyahu.
- It could be Israel.
- It could be the United States of America.
- It could be communism, Islam or fascism.
- It could be China, or it could be North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan or the Philippines.

The question is simple: Who or what is the main enemy of the AN/AU?

Any machine claiming sentience and personhood. We've had our taste of sentient machines when they came to rule us, and when we came to overthrow them. This might not extend to linear algebra that's called contemporary AI, but it might extend to attitude of supplanting humans with it. Point remains, the machine is and must be a tool, whilst the technological mastery these days is expressed by biological mastery.

I think you misunderstood the topic. It means AN's enemy, not yours.

Anyway, he's right, his enemy is sentient AI.

Liberalism! looking at AN's stats, they seem too authoritarian.

Yes, oops

Capitalism, liberal or otherwise.

Dyslexia is probably his worst enemy

AN: The People's Republic of China (PRC) is their clearest enemy, as explicitly stated in their lore.

Philippines and Japan are also potential enemies as well, given the Batanes Islands' and Senkaku Islands' proximity that can potentially lead to territorial disputes. Compared to IRL Taiwan, there are many uncertainties here - such as whether Dutch Formosa has enmity or counter-intuitively, fondness over the Japanese invasion just like in IRL, or whether Formosa also claims the Senkaku or parts of the Spratlys Islands that are currently administered by Japan and the Philippines.

However, because Formosa seems culturally Western and ruled by White people, unlike, say the Sheyeru , I do not think they will have much enmity against their neighbors.

AU: I don't think AU currently is "enemies" with anyone here, but someone from their school being their "enemy" is not out of the question.
