Guy Who Sucks At Being A Person Sees Huge Potential In AI
SAN MATEO, CA—After spending the past three decades of his life being totally unable and unwilling to engage in any meaningful way with the world around him, James Parker, a local guy who sucks at being a person, told reporters Thursday that he saw huge potential in AI. “While it’s still in its early phase, artificial intelligence will one day accomplish things that humans could have never even dreamed of doing,” said Parker, who, by all accounts, has never stretched himself to do something he found difficult; has never created anything truly original; and, deep down, has absolutely zero understanding of what makes things good, enjoyable, or rewarding. “Just yesterday, I asked an AI program to write an entire sci-fi novel for me, and [as someone who will die an empty shell of a man who wasted his life doing nothing for the world and, perhaps, should never have been born] I was super impressed. Soon, humans won’t need to do anything at all! Awesome.” At press time, Parker added that as someone whose contributions to society would almost certainly be measured cumulatively as a net loss, he also saw great potential in the future of the metaverse.
Fungi underground stretch out tiny little threads, only one cell wide, to get nutrients to give to trees.
Put together, the mass of these fungi underground is 4-6 TIMES the mass of all humanity put together.
Just ONE TYPE OF FUNGI! https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/arbuscular-mycorrhizal-fungi-networks-map
Fungi take up more mass than people—see how they stretch across the Earth
Scientists created the first-ever map of this vast underground fungal network and found it could stretch to the sun and back more than a billion times.
Hi did you know there's probably enough tiny fungal threads under the soil to reach from the Earth to the sun MORE THAN A BILLION TIMES.
BEHOLD THEM THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL.

“As it turns out, the way you can get that is there is a synthetic rotting corpse smell that is produced to train disaster response dogs.”

Reminds me of when i was close enough to smell a lion. Holy eau de rotting zebra.
What did T. rex’s breath smell like?
Short answer: Really gross.

I recently learned that there's a reason squirrels bounce around like their shit don't stink.
Arctic ground squirrel shit doesn't stink.
UNTIL you thaw it out of the permafrost and then it very very much does. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/frozen-squirrel-poop-ice-age-ecosystems
Frozen squirrel poop hints at sights and smells of Ice Age ecosystems
DNA preserved in ancient scat reveals what Yukon ground squirrels ate and what animals shared their world.
Scientists have analyzed squirrel poo that was frozen in the permafrost for thousands of years.
The pellets were full of eDNA from plants! Insects! Fungi!
And MAMMOTHS. And horses.
