I wanted to come on here on this Valentine's Day to profess my love for bears, specifically sun bears. now I dont have a lot of knowledge on these as mush as some people in you asks do about their favorite animals but I really do love them, I love their awful proportions, their silly faces abd long tongues, i love their patterning, and everything! I think they're great. I also love all bears, pandas, grizzly, polar, I think they're all wonderful and I hope one of these days I will be able to safely pet or hug a bear. until then I will only look on at a safe distance and dream.

The Logo for Donald Trump International Airport Appears to Be AI Slop

The logo for officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport appears to be generated with AI.

Donald Trump loves AI slop. Just look at his posts at his failing Truth Social platform. So maybe we shouldn't be surprised that the logo at the airport he named after himself is AI slop.

Donald Trump is now the first president to have an airport named after him while still in office. And what better way to commemorate this high honor than with lazy AI slop? Until a few days ago, the Palm Beach International Airport in South Florida was still called the Palm Beach International Airport. Now it’s the President Donald J. Trump International Airport, after a law that his pal and governor of Florida Ron DeSantis signed back in March took effect. Its old logo looked like a riff on Disney’s. Its new one, first revealed by Eric Trump in May, is clearly meant to be a transmogrified Great Seal, rendered — of course — in Trump’s favorite color: gold. Look past its gaudiness, though, and you’ll notice some things that’re a little off in the finer details. The talons are horribly deformed and shaped differently from each other. The entire legs are uneven, too, and the base of them are represented as a strange conglomeration of blobs, which are also inconsistent. In fact, the whole thing is slightly asymmetrical. The wings have an uneven number of feathers. The two olive branches — another error in itself, because the eagle is supposed to be clutching a bundle of arrows in its right-side talon — have differing numbers of leaves. And the shield only has eleven stripes, as opposed to the thirteen that the actual Great Seal is supposed to feature.

We go from a story about AI slop to quick look at one on AI sloppiness.

A Meta AI data center under construction in Wyoming is apparently spewing a rare pathogen into waste water.

Yet another reason not to want data centers in your area.
