Bird retinas operate without oxygen and are fueled by glucose from the pecten oculi. This challenges long-held beliefs about how highly metabolic tissues function and offers insight into evolutionary adaptations! 🧪

Interesting...a new clue in the mystery of Prototaxites, the largest land organism in the Devonian period. It wasn't a fungus 🍄 OR a plant 🌱. It's a completely extinct KINGDOM! 🧪

The First Great Forests Were Neither Fungus Nor Plant, But Lifeforms Without Living Descendants
Once these were the largest and most dominant living things on land, but their greatness did not ensure survival.

Visual art is 80% learning to see. That means not only learning how to see, understand and evaluate the world around you, the human figure etc. But it also means learning to see, understand and evaluate your own work. Seeing is the hardest part to teach and the hardest part to learn.

Indonesia temporarily blocks access to Grok over sexualised images
Indonesia temporarily blocked Elon Musk's Grok chatbot on Saturday due to the risk of AI-generated pornographic content, becoming the first country to deny access to the AI tool.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.
Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.
It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.
That’s it.

Every time we are expected to say “AI has SOME good uses”, even though the kind currently discussed (the slop producing kind) is not the same thing as the “good at spotting statistical anomalies” kind, and that disingenuous bullshit is to try to make people shut up about the slop engines!

This is specifically about AI use in humanities disciplines within academia, which is clear from context- this crap is extremely harmful in that setting. Inevitably, people show up to be like "AI finds cancer cells tho".
NOT THE SUBJECT, and that conflation has been inflicted upon us intentionally.

You absolutely will not convince a bunch of historians and sociologists and whoever else is in this thread that you know more than we do about this and we should use it. I wish you AI enthusiasts would stop wading into our conversations. You have nothing helpful to contribute and are snarky.

En 2017, Emmanuel Macron reçoit un œuf sur le visage. Ce qui fait bien rire Jordan Bardella à l'époque, avec un jeu de mots sur ses réseaux sociaux. En 2025, ce même Bardella reçoit un œuf sur le visage : c'est une horrible «brutalisation du débat démocratique».
Quand Bardella se moquait de Macron qui avait reçu un œuf
En 2017, celui qui n’était pas encore Président reçoit un œuf sur le visage. Ce qui avait bien fait rire le lepéniste, aujourd’hui scandalisé d’avoir essuyé le même projectile, samedi 29 novembre dans le Tarn-et-Garonne.
