@Ronico I have been on the ground in scenes such as this, and I seek them out. I welcome being alone during those times, but I don't feel lonely.

Is anyone surprised? "researchers estimates that the training of GPT-3, which ChatGPT is partly based on, consumed 1,287 MWh, and led to emissions of more than 550 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent" https://www.wired.com/story/the-generative-ai-search-race-has-a-dirty-secret/ #climatechange #AI

#FossilFriday ! No, this is not Archaeopteryx, but it is from the Solnhofen Limestone Laggerstatten, Germany, so it probably died right next to a famous Archaeopteryx carcass. This is in fact Mesolimulus walchi, a Jurassic horseshoe crab (please do not say "living fossil"). #paleontology @ @calacademy https://flic.kr/p/hxyVs7

How about abstract molluscan art for #FossilFriday ? We have a new system for describing shells according to how molluscs evolved, and how the shell actually grows, in contrast to geometric descriptions of shell form. Governed by a single equation! Sorry, no explanations until we actually present this somewhere 🙂 #paleontology @calacademy
