There’s a bit in Jurassic World where they reference the original park having poor PR after ‘the incident’, and the billionaire guy talks about carrying on ‘John’s work’. Plus the main scientist dude seems to have been in employment since the original development of the dinosaurs.

Saw people at HMT asking about use cases for AI in policy-making 👀

genuinely do want snow pics, the garden hasn’t had a frost or snow in yonks!

my next drive to north wales has something else to do in O
