Great to know their CEO doesn't even understand how AI works. It's not anxious because it's conscious, dumbass. It's anxious because you've been scraping the social media of users living and posting through fucking unstable times.

this reminds me of things i would do as an undergrad. one night we got a little wild and by 2 or 3 in the morning i shredded all my white/green striped computer printouts and hung them from the dorm hall ceiling as seaweed and as the sun came in thru end of hall window gloomily lighting them up 1/n

A van has pulled up next to my parked car. It has a large "Quantum Plumbing" logo on the side, with the slogan "phenomenal service!" below, and a cartoon of a strange gnomish bearded man with white pair and pointed ears holding a wrench in one hand and a glowing atom in the other.

I don't want to know what calls for quantum plumbing, but I guess I'm glad it's available if someone needs it.

Emerling, @freddelsuc.bsky.social et al. investigated candidate genes related to dentition, gustation, and mastication in nine convergent myrmecophagous mammalian lineages, finding that convergent evolution of myrmecophagy was a protracted process.

The bedrock in science overall is "look at this cool thing!"

The cool thing in geology specifically is "look at this bedrock!"
