"This species is renowned for its large size... up to 15 millimeters in length."

Lies. These ants are known as "mini rubies" because they are small for carpenter ants.

"striking coloration, with a combination of black and metallic blue or green hues,"

WTF utter nonsense!

"prefer nesting in..rainforests and mangroves"

NO.

I just encountered a "species description"and I think it's AI generated. I think they did this so they'd have one for every species.

I'm so LIVID. This is GARBAGE.

I watch y'all in the comments of my posts connecting with and comforting each other, and it warms my heart. Mastodon isn't a perfect place, but the humanity I see here makes me proud to be a part of it. The world needs more of this.

When you think of the various features of online media -- and how they've had a hand in deforming the information landscape ...

... i.e. procedural ads, algorithmically-sorted newsfeeds, etc ...

... I'm increasingly realizing there's one element that's having a big, malign effect:

Affiliate links

They're a key propellant in the modern eruption of AI-authored, grey-goo "product reviews"

You see that in this terrific Maggie Harrison Dupré piece at Futurism: https://futurism.com/advon-ai-content

Reading ’s anti policy is a masterclass in cognitive dissonance.

Tip: Ignore the premise that they are actually combating each behaviour, and use it instead like a handy Google Search Bingo Card.

It make using search fun.

Catch of the day. There is a junction at Tooting that has achieved legendary status.
FUVs* try to cut the turn by ignoring the clear markings and driving over the pedestrian walkway - only to meet the sharp end of a nicely placed metal bollard.

Driver was ‘outraged’. 😂

I have 20 of these ‘catches’
Will post some more choice ones, when I can find them.

If we are not allowed to get rid of the Monarchy can we reset it please. Remember we have a perfect method for deciding the head of state. Someone has to go get a sword from a woman in a lake. I'm hoping Carol Vorderman gets it.

Hey, new fedi peeps.
Welcome!
You are onto a good thing.

Tip: If you want a follow back, any sort of Biog would be appreciated.

It doesn’t need to be your personal constitution, just enough to know what floats your boat (& you are comfortable sharing).

Otherwise, it’s a bit like inviting a balaclava wearing stranger into your feed.

Cheers!

Free to collect in the next 4 days from Wandsworth, South West London.

I wish they made them like this again. Absolute workhorse. 🥲

Brief timeout from shit posting about AI to share an absolutely beautiful film about the evolution of the Spanish . Featuring the amazing Julian Bream. The Spanish landscape is the star. I miss it so.

A glorious 3.5 hour meditation on the glory of human virtuosity.

Stick that in your iPad Apple. Oh! No room, you say?

Lest we not forget Prince Andrew flew some planes during the Falklands, which enabled him to claim he could no longer sweat in a disco, with a trafficked under age girl who he subsequently slept with.

He is herby awarded the Noble Order of Nonce: A very special medal, awarded only to the privileged few.

I'm genuinely ashamed of myself.

I don't share political views with the conservatives on the SCOTUS, but I was under the shameful misapprehension that they were not unintelligent men, that they were capable of rational thought.

But I was wrong. Because not a single one of them managed to figure out that a President who is immune from prosecution for assassinating a political rival cannot possibly HAVE a congress who might impeach him. Do they imagine congresspersons do not fear death?

@Remittancegirl
I was talking to my cousin about this. He visited me from Argentina last week. He’s a lawyer and got into politics for four years. He said people entering politics usually had principles they wanted to see enacted, and ambition.

But after four years, he was exhausted. The only people left around him where the crazy ones, who only had ambition - and nothing else.

Where we are at.
