  • I was hiking recently and saw a massive caterpillar. I took a photo and asked our national biological office if they could ID it cos AI was doing a shit job (as usual).

    They identified it and said that it almost definitely arrived as a seed or smaller caterpillar attached to a car and managed to find its way into the forest. They mentioned that they normally return with holidayers in the summer and don’t make it through the cold winter’s, but this may shift due to climate change. This thing was about 18 cm (7 American toes) long.

    Crazy to see how much shit these critters can handle and still survive (for now…).






  • You hit the nail on the head:

    Don’t get me wrong, I am absolutely anti “AI baked into my operating system and cell phone so that it can monitor me and sell me crap”. If that’s what being Anti AI is…to that I say Amen.

    Most cases in consumer ai, it’s data harvesting gone haywire and it’s not being implemented to benefit society.

    From what I see, very few people are stupid enough to blanket hate it, but it is overhyped and being used maliciously.
