@futurebird @BarrenPlanet To paraphrase, they don’t remember that there was a wall right there, but they know it’s too cold and they know the solution is to build a wall and they follow the same program as before, and they get the same result.

@futurebird @BarrenPlanet which is to say, ants are basically ChatGPT in physical form, they ‘know’ what a solution looks like and they try to build one out of whatever parts are available. The end result is a kind of distributed intelligence, the system can do smart things by combining lots of basically reflex responses.

@lowqualityfacts today’s challenge: stop underestimating conservative parents of gay kids. it’s not that they don’t know that their kid is gay. It’s not that they don’t know that the kid already knows. It’s that they want their kid to know that it’s not ok to be gay, and they’re going to pretend to be straight if they know what’s good for them.

@futurebird @IngaLovinde @billiglarper It's all going to be a bit "¿Por qué no los dos?". And not in a good way.

@futurebird he gets caught a lot. Does that mean he always gets caught? or are the times he gets caught are just the (metaphorical) tip of an even bigger slushburg

@futurebird Cut in half, 'paint' each cut side with a blend of oil, miso and vinegar, cut cross slashes in flesh. Tip a tin of lentils or diced tomatoes into a sufficiently sized oven disk. Sit the eggplants on top, bake in medium oven until done, maybe 20 or 30 minutes. Seriously easy, and delicious.

@futurebird the remaining Tesla shareholders are the sort of person who still believe Musk is a genius. If Musk walks away, the bubble pops and the show’s over.

@futurebird the wrapping on printer paper used to say which side should be preferred for printing. My current ream doesn't, so I guess either 2, or maybe 2 & 3.

I asked the wine waiter for some wine, the food waiter for some food, and let us not mention the interaction with the head waiter. @molly0xfff @eedly
