Both of these tags are right. I love when a cat will just put up with your silly human games. They love you and know you love them and are just happy with you.

"cats are incapable of love" cats understand affectionate bothering, something it takes years-long relationships to develop between humans

I love the implication that, as Larry is an "unpaid trainee", the dog is paid.

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?

under 18, AI is a net positive

under 18, AI is a net negative

18-29, AI is a net positive

18-29, AI is a net negative

30-45, AI is a net positive

30-45, AI is a net negative

46-60, AI is a net positive

46-60, AI is a net negative

over 60, AI is a net postive

over 60, AI is a net negative

Frequently (multiple times per month)

Often (multiple times per year)

Occasionally (a couple times per year)

Rarely (once every couple of years)

Never :(

Question 3/3

If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?

under 18, more inclined

under 18, less inclined

18-29, more inclined

18-29, less inclined

30-45, more inclined

30-45, less inclined

46-60, more inclined

46-60, less inclined

over 60, more inclined

over 60, less inclined

I often think about that post that was a fake dating profile for a cat that was all about chickens, like wanting someone with posable thumbs for opening chickens.

This is one my favourite things the internet has ever made.

This remains one of the great art objects of modern times and nobody will convince me otherwise.

You can't just nerf him without admitting that he was too powerful in his original form

[homunculus-argument]

"If you accept any food from the fae, they shall never let you go" is a human belief. The fair folk stand by the principle that if you feed 'em, you gotta keep 'em. If wildlife learns to rely on you for food, you have already fucked up, and you can't just stop feeding them cold turkey. That human is your responsibility now. Because you left your peach cobbler unsupervised.

So Nikki, Mike's possible alter ego, is leaving "pizza one" listening to "Go Skate (Possessed to Skate '97), a song that came out in 1993, that has an older version called "Possessed to Skate" that came out in 1987, in a show set in 1985, and I should be chill about it?

EDIT

I should have finished the scene because than the song changes to the 1987's version so yeah.

I love this game.

This odd fish has 30 times as much DNA as humans—a new record for animals

Lacking key genes that control selfish bits of DNA, the South American lungfish’s genome just grew and grew.

A species of lungfish found in South America has claimed the title of the animal with the biggest genome sequenced so far. The DNA of Lepidosiren paradoxa comprises a staggering 91 billion chemical letters or “bases,” 30 times as many as the human genome, researchers report today in Nature. However, those 91 billion bases of DNA only contain about the same number of genes that humans have—roughly 20,000—with the rest consisting of noncoding, perhaps even “junk” DNA. By comparing this genome with those of other lungfishes, the researchers determined that L. paradoxa adds the equivalent of a human genome to its DNA every 10 million years...

We have to add more DNA to humans immediately, we can't let this keep happening
