A cat in Odesa, Ukraine, memorized the route to and from a bomb shelter in an apartment building.

Viktoria Ilkiva said her cat knows to head home after the air-raid alerts end. The ginger kitty leads the way through a parking garage, onto an elevator, and to their front door.

'Rethinking the Ethics of “Open” in the Shadow of AI' :: a eye-poppingly important and panel with @medievalben.bsky.social @mkgold.bsky.social @laurenfklein.bsky.social @filipa-calado.bsky.social
