Yup. They’re the state animal and there’s a hockey team named after them. Though technically, “panther” is actually just a generic term for big cats in the family pantera. These guys are actually a type of puma.

So you’re telling me that you have a table saw that can stand up, walk to the wood pile, grab a plank, measure to size, line it up, and push it over the blade if you say “I need a two foot 2x4”? Because that is the level of automaton that we’re talking about with ai. The human makes a request, the bot does all the work.

But nevermind, I just looked into your comment history and you obviously don’t have the mental faculties for an intelligent conversation on this subject. Have a nice life, I’m out.

Your obviously bad faith argument excludes the distinction between tool and automaton.

All the things you listed are tools. They are objects that assist humans with performing a process.

“Generative” ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.

Hiring someone to draw a picture and then signing your name on it doesn’t make you an artist, and that’s exactly what every ai “”“artist”“” is doing.

Love the work! Also, chibithulhu. 🥹

It’s a scene from Final Fantasy 7.

Yup, that’s a huge factor people don’t tend to think about when it comes to fitness. It’s the reason they tell you not to do a lot of cardio if you’re trying to do hardcore strength training. Your body only has so much adaptive “bandwidth”, and trying to do to many things at once will massively reduce your progress in all of them.

It’s partially your height. Naturally lower center of gravity means naturally better stability, plus the less you have to lower yourself to get a lifting grip on something the less effort int takes to get the thing and yourself back up.

Nah, they’re just stuck on hulk mode. They’re hyper territorial, even to other hippos, even to babies of other males in their own group.

There’s a handful of bird species that can only eat stuff like nuts, berries, and seeds. Koalas. And I vaguely remember something about a couple kinds of sloths that only eat like, leaves, grass, and flowers?

An important distinction to make is that they are facultative herbavors, not obligate herbavors.

They might prefere fruits and veg, but they’ll eat whatever they can get their teeth on.
