Underrated Project Hail Mary detail is how everyone is multilingual except the main character so whenever he’s there they all have to switch to English which probably makes him look and feel like an idiot

I am so damn pleased with the Sedgwick County Zoo media team, y’all. They just dropped a stellar blog piece on why GenAI slop videos of animals are such a problem - and how to identify them!

The Reality of AI Animal Content – Sedgwick County Zoo

If you spend any time on social media, you’ve probably seen them – bears bouncing on trampolines, apes caught on doorbell cameras, or “rescu

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a zoo or aquarium in the United States speak up broadly about AI. (The only times I can think of any comment at all has maybe individual instances when a deepfake of “their” animal escaping is circulating.) And they did a great job with this piece! It’s succinct, easy to read, and written in a way that doesn’t shame people for engaging with AI content before they knew better.

I think this is exactly the type of resource needed for sending to that family member or friend we all have - the one who isn’t aware of the slop issue and constantly sends you clearly fake videos because they’re “so cute.”

I’d love to have Sedgwick get some public positive reinforcement for taking this stance. If you’re so inclined, a comment on their FB post would be great as it’s likely they’re going to get shit for this from sloppers & co. We really do need animal organizations to stand up for accurate, real animal content and this is a great first step in that direction.

"I have never seen a cat that showed affection/love for it's owner" is the pet ownership version of "I don't believe in Female Orgasms they don't exist, after all, my wife has never had one"

#wait reblogging again to say#i also feel this way about rodents being mean and/or suicidal#if you think all rodents are seconds away from taking a chunk out of your finger maybe rethink being near rodents. ever.#the reason your small pet is skittish and scared of you and bites when you touch it and died after a month#is that you have no idea how to handle them and know nothing about the care requirements. via @cupidispretty extremely accurate peer reviewed

Free service with ads: Well, if I'm not paying for it they have to foot the bill somehow.

Paid service with no ads: Well, if they're not funding it with ad revenue, they need to charge us something.

Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.

Grace:

[amvs]

ppl who don’t make an effort to listen to their partner(s) abt their interests bc they “don’t like it” scare me

[amvs]

exactly. it’s not about whether you like it or understand it. it’s about sharing their joy and learning about who they are.

[amvs]

Real and true

[edgebug]

so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?

like. a creature that perceives the intangible? a creature that walks with thin permeable membranes bared to the air, whose blood contains elixir that can destroy pathogens without heat? a creature that is impossibly fragile yet resilient? a creature that breathes potently flammable gas to survive? a creature that is loud all over and speaks in a strange and frightening monotone, who thought it would die for you? who gave up its home in the heavens for you without meeting you first, whose first words to your people were probably something along the lines of We saved your star. It's gonna be okay. Don't be afraid.

Man what the hell. The ghost of my Original Kermit Plushie (died in a fire) just appeared before me and told me that tonight I would be visited by the Three Ghosts: the Ghost of Dashcon Past, the Ghost of Dashcon Present, and the Ghost of Dashcon Future. Apparently I am going to be forced to face the shadows of the past and reckon with my fate of eternal damnation? LAME!

[starspaceace]

i like to imagine the eridians having similar conversations that we're having about their alien

[starspaceace]

so from i've gathered from the collective thrum. they have not come to a consensus yet
