#172-#025-#026. The Pikachu line is known for their rubber cheeks, conductive tails and love for chewing wires, ruining plugs and stealing batteries. At least they're cute doing it.....................

it's not natural for candy to be $3.49. candy is supposed to be one dollar

candy should cost a nickel and we should all wear little propeller hats when we eat it

ID: A TikTok by @/atlasdovy captioned, “Found my bird wanting to play Harp 🕊️.”

The bird plucks at the strings from the base of the harp, and after perching on a hand, continues to pluck at the strings, cooing and shivering it’s wings. End ID.

*throws them at you*

people are really fucking clueless about generative ai huh? you should absolutely not be using it for any sort of fact checking no matter how convenient. it does not operate in a way that guarantees factual information. its goal is not to deliver you the truth but deliver something coherent based on a given data set which may or may not include factual information. both the idolization of ai and fearmongering of it seem lost on what it is actually capable of doing

Remember what generative "AI" does, kids: it GENERATES. That means it generates answers to questions based on whatever garbage has been fed into it. Not "goes and looks up the answer." Not "already studied and knows everything." It's just reaching into its sack of word salad and dumping a pile on your desk. Sure, maybe the words fit together to form sentences, but that doesn't make it correct.

a generative AI search result vs the exact article it is citing. the website it scrambled that information from also just happens to include info on winged roaches. gisborne cockroaches are completely wingless. even if it's pulling info straight from one reliable source, there is every chance it'll mash up that info into something false.

If you need a visual, here’s how poorly AI performed when asked to create citations for news articles. And that’s just for citations, imagine what it’s doing when you ask it more complex questions and tasks.

On the cornsnakes subredit someone there used generative AI to "answer" someone's question about what the raised black lump on their corn snake could be. Another person called them out and AI-user responded with "I can do what I want, and what's the harm anyways?"

I stepped in and explicitly detailed everything that the list got wrong, which was about 95% of it, to show why is was harmful. After an hour they deleted their comment plus they deleted most of their comment history.

AI is a lie generator. Don't use it.

bird flu is 100% the US's fault, US and UK and Sweden and such all bear a lot of responsibility for how covid is playing out obviously but the bird flu is straight up the US refusing to sacrifice short term agricultural profit & concealing & ignoring information about a pathogen that is already killing humans. btw no you can't get out of this one by avoiding eggs (US poultry are so genetically similar, unhealthy, & overcrowded that hens basically always die before they have a chance to lay anyway) — every time a virus spreads it has the opportunity to mutate. you can't protect only yourself! this is what's meant by Public Health. without culling, a flock of five million chickens in US agricultural conditions (yes, including labelled 'cage free') goes down in a matter of days with an almost 100% mortality rate, & this scenario represents five million more chances for the virus to evolve. there are over 520 million chickens in the US and approximately 166 million chickens are known to have been affected by outbreaks since 2022. H5N1 is now so rampant that wild birds can transmit it to farm flocks by flying overhead while shitting. a pandemic requires a complex sequence of numerous extremely unlikely events to all occur & it is not a given! but it can become one if US farm policy & ableism keep rolling these dice.
