An ad about “properly cleaning your retainer” sure sounds hilarious while listening to medieval music. Like what sort of retainers, a standard lance with squires and men at arms, or hobilars or what?

Ever wonder about minis and art where someone carries a sword in one hand and a bow in the other? Well what they actually have is a sword with a notched pommel so you can shoot it! And it’s deadly up to a foot away if the target doesn’t move!

SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

If you ask ChatGPT “is there a seahorse emoji” it will lose its mind.
It is sure there is (lots of people on reddit think there is). But when it tries to post it and fails it spirals

ChatGPT saying yes there is a seahorse emoji. It then posts several different emojis eg fish and unicorn before correcting itself and trying (and failing) again.

Continuation of previous post showing several more attempts get shell, octopus and coral.

The reason people do NOT opt out of online dating, despite its engineered horrors, is because increasingly it's the only dating. Period.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Although classified as carnivores, wolves may sometimes follow an omnivorous diet. They can eat meat, eggs and even fruit!

This time of year, pumpkins are a special treat for our ambassador wolves.🎃 #wolffact

“Wolves can eat meat eggs and even fruit” well gee WE eat fruit and insects and stuff and nobody’s giving US delicious persimmons to show their appreciation, and maybe they SHOULD.

No blood but tagging it as graphic because, well, branding is literally an injury so

Triangular canine head. There's a 45 degree angle for the snout and sides, then each ear comes down at a 60 degree angle to the opposing side to form the ears with an x shape that's kinda like a bow. The eyes are vertical lines. The nose is the bottom of the snout filled in. A little ways from each cheek is a pair of horizontal lines disconnected from the head to represent whiskers. It honestly looks a bit more like a fox than a coyote.

The sci-fi setting of Neurocracy posits exactly this scenario: brain implants are initially trained on neural data from a subset of society, so getting them to work requires us to think in ways characteristic of that subset, installing biases directly in our minds and fostering a mental monoculture

Hi hello did you know that Elon Musk's third Neuralink patient (previously nonverbal) is "getting help from Grok" to communicate

and I hope -- I REALLY HOPE -- he's not stuck in his own brain listening as a robot talks for him without his input because this, to me, would be worse than death

This patient’s Neuralink brain implant gets a boost from generative AI

A patient who types with his brain thanks to a Neuralink implant is using AI chatbots to speed things up.
