No, really, read the Hippo Thread™️
So that means that any attempt to neuter a hippo is:
A) Exploratory Surgery
B) Done under "best guess" conditions
C) Where the drugs are *going* to wear off
D) On an animal that weighs more than a Ford F150
E) All of which is muscle
F) On testicles that are hiding from you
G) And it is mad about it

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Computer people: I keep wondering whether LLMs are especially vulnerable to hallucinations (or whether I am especially aware of them, because I spend my life writing), or whether this is an AI vulnerability across applications - coding, science research, wherever else it is used?

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.
