       @john @mike @extinctmonsters Not bad. I do like "predictive framework" because it tells what's scientific about it (it generates testable predictions). "Testable framework", maybe?

       I am begging paleoartists to use CMYK when developing work for print. #paleoart

       @john No, you *will* know what to do. (Why is this thread now just me correcting movie quotes?) https://youtu.be/40pWnzCHktw

       @john He was quoting PATTON (a.k.a. PATTON: LUST FOR GLORY in the U.K.), so it's "You'll know what to do," there as well. (He doesn't get the quote quite right overall, but that part's the same.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUCboG8eJEM

       @john Given that a lot of sexual dimorphism is not skeletal, and that it's hard to distinguish subadult and adult dinos (blurring the lines between dimorphism in adults), maybe not?

       @mike @markwitton @llewelly @john Unless ajax and excelsus turn out to be synonyms (unlikely), it’s a subjective question. At least until someone phylogenetically defines Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus.

       Explain to me the difference between posting AI art from one of the big engines and posting a Google search you’re proud of.

       I do actually think the tech is intriguing and, if used ethically (unlike the big engines), could relieve artists of some grunt work. But posting stuff you generated from a prompt—I do not get it.

       Stuff seems to be going well on that other site. (Tried to open Tweetdeck today.)

       @greyknight33 @Sheril Mutation is what provides the variation necessary for drift and selection, the major mechanisms of evolution.

       @vees That they still make them is almost as surprising.

       Paleontology’s dirty secret is that there is no “correct” way to pronounce those names. Paleontologists mostly just go with however their adviser said ‘em.
