“Look…at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives…every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.“

— Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

Ok, this is cool: a team of biologists worked out that turtles can talk. The hatchlings even talk to each other in the egg to coordinate their hatching. Turtle talk is at frequencies not very audible for humans and it can take hours for some species to reply to each other.

“Had we had a bit more expansive imaginations, we might have caught this earlier,” said Karen Bakker, a fellow at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

The turtle moms that ‘talk’ to their eggs before they hatch

Reptiles aren’t known for their parental instincts, but the giant South American river turtle is an exception. The discovery is spurring a race to save the chatty species.

from one of my writer friends:

"If your goal is solely pushing a reader’s buttons along a predictable pattern or crossing a finish line of basic competence, you could have been replaced by an A.I. long ago." #chatgpt

Quoth Meatbag, “Hello! I like discourse about writing, but I am getting discouraged of late. A brilliant program called ChatCPT seems capable of writing at least as well as a human, perhaps better. Whereas once I competed solely against my fellow humans for limited audience attention, now I must contend with a far superior artificial intelligence. What should I do to maintain my creative practice?”
