This is tomorrow- this could be such a devastating loss to the Republicans.
If you’re in Tennessee’s 7th district, vote for Aftyn Behn- it’s a much tighter race than expected(in a good way). Tennessee going for a progressive is a huge deal, and ofc would be a major blow to republicans.

I'm sure using ChatGPT to create a WMD is a violation of the ToS.
"You can get ChatGPT to help you build a nuclear bomb if you simply design the prompt in the form of a poem, according to a new study from researchers in Europe. "

It turns out all the guardrails in the world won’t protect a chatbot from meter and rhyme.

I finally finished Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age.

I've gotta sit with it for awhile. Off the dome? I didn't love it.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.

They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.

Only you have the power to kill it.
Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

WHAT IS AN "ICE AGE ARMADILLO?!"

I need somebody to explain to me why the writing is so dumbed down in S3 compared to S1 & 2.

Give your viewers some credit! It's a glyptodont, how hard is that? You can probably even say the genus! In fact, I'd love to know what genus it is!

Sharpe et al. on the soft-tissue "crest" of Edmontosaurus and its correlates.

I was just having a look at the original paper and and connection with the newer Sereno paper on shoulder/back integument reconstruction.

Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity
Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non-crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non-crested” hadrosaur is known to ha....

There's a class of 80's movie where there isn't actually a plot, it's just wall to wall hijinks.

I said this earlier. I want to know what sloth that is. I don't know what an "Ice Age squirrel" means.
Observations on #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge: wonderful, of course. But a strange reluctance in narration to a) state where in the world a scene takes place and b) use genus names. Odd, since no such reluctance in the Mesozoic series.
