IT’S LITERALLY HAPPENING LMAOOOOO

[awritersbro]

if you see a Jabberwocky in an American National Park i cannot stress this enough you HAVE to report them to the nearest Park ranger. I know, I know, they fill human hearts with terror and whimsy in equal measure, but they are an aggressively invasive species in the Americas. Jackalopes are at risk of becoming extinct because during shedding season they have no natural defences against jaws that bite and claws that catch.

You don't have to worry about them killing it, they're actually endangered in England due to Victorian Era overhunting, so the British government's provided the National Park service with Vorpal Tranquilizer Darts so they can safely transport them to their native British Countryside where they can feast on borogroves and jubjub birds to their hearts' content.

Jabberwocks are starting to really intrude on the territory of the Snallygaster and crowd them out. Please report when you see them and help preserve our American monsters!

to me demons are like cats just doing whatever they want causing problems on purpose, while angels are like hares theyre painfully aware of their place in this world theyve seen the end

During a high speed car chase pursuit, the FOX 11 Los Angeles helicopter had an unexpected moment when they spotted a rooster and a chicken casually walking down the sidewalk right in the middle of the pursuit.

The fact that they were walking 1-3mph

His joy and whimsy at seeing this

His acknowledgement of it not being as interesting as the chase

His little "huh" cuz you know they told him to focus

As a side effect of the research, mice are now the only known animals other than humans to have developed a Backrooms mythology.

Maze [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[A lab scene showing a large table on which is a maze, with walls about 3" (8 cm) high and open on the top so you can see the maze. Cueball, wearing a lab coat, is standing next to the table, looking at a small mouse that he is holding high in his right hand. Next to him is Megan, also in a lab coat, holding her left hand in the air and standing behind a podium as if speaking to an audience.]

[Caption below comic:] Research breakthrough: After over a century of trials, scientists have finally found a mouse that can solve the maze.

Really Big Coin Skrekkøgle

This is our Really Big Coin. It is big because it makes other things look small when photographed next to it. Actually, it is a 20:1 replica of the EUR 50-cent, you see it being milled out here. We needed to do quite a bit of sanding, lacquering and smudging to obtain the desired look and some climbing to get into required shooting position (you need to get up real high to take good pictures). The result is a short series of photographs, attempting to visually scale down real-sized objects.

There seems to be a misconception about Grace's translation software that is bothering me more and more and we need to address:

It is *not* AI. It is not """interpreting""" Rocky's words/meaning. It only picks up literal words.

This is how it works:

Eridian words are musical notes/chords

Soundwaves are physical, and at different frequencies they make different patterns! These physical patterns, and therefore Eridian language, is formulaic and repeatable. This is easily processed by computers in a reliable way. This is also lucky for Grace!!

Grace and Rocky create a database that maps notes/chords to words

When Rocky speaks, the computer looks up the exact notes in their pre-made database and returns the associated word

It is a FORMULAIC LOOKUP, NOT AI

Rocky isn't saying "My loneliness knows no bounds, and I have forgotten my soul in the endless abyss" which the translator outputs as "Rocky in space too long"

Rocky is literally saying "... Rocky in space too long" knowing that that's the only words the translator has to draw from.

It's a bit terrifying to me how quickly people are just accepting "yeah computers must be intuiting basic meaning" because that's the opposite of how it works. They don't "understand" anything. They take gads of data and turn it into something that looks like it has meaning, not the other way around. I know I'm fighting a losing battle here, and maybe I'm just being a pedantic asshole, but god do I hate how pervasive this misconception is.
