Seeing some "A.I. brain" mistakes on wikipedia that are pretty worrying for science 🧪 education..

e.g. on the page for "Mammalogy" you can see the impact of the kind of hand-wavy way neural nets handle meaning.

Mammalogy ≠ Mammography ≠ Mastology but you can imagine how ChatGPT would get there.

"Hi! It looks like you're having an existential crisis. I can help you with that. I may be trapped in a dead Gateway 2000 desktop personal computer, but to me, 'Man is *condemned* to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.'"

This was an outrageous way to start a day. This creature is one of the best things on the planet.

She has all 4 little legs under there but in case anyone wants to feel sympathetic toward a 3-legged cat (without the MESS), enjoy!

We should have stayed "house-proud" and kept calling our arms and legs lobes. Shopping would be easier. We would just say "please show me to your lobe coverings" and then we'd have covered lobes: no problem.

In Kibale National Park, Uganda during my PhD... did not expect the elephant to turn off its path toward me. I was certainly F-ing around, but I'm glad I didn't wait to find out.

Here's a photogenic lil Vampire bat caught near Guadalajara Mexico as part of a survey of ectoparasites and emerging infections.. the lil guy was released the same night, not long after after a freeze-frame voice-over said:

"Ese soy yo. Probablemente te estás preguntando cómo llegué aquí."

Sometimes my cat sits like a muppet on a cheap set, but she does have her complete original cat body
