@angusm@mastodon.social @cstross@wandering.shop I guess if the eggs are tasty the creatures don’t even need a facehugger stage — the victims impregnate themselves.

@alice That is so awesome.
(I think all world records should have to be done in bear suits.)
@florian@bsd.network @Gargron@mastodon.social As I recall, that didn’t really make the universe of Dune more equitable and less exploitative.

@futurebird It’s wild to me that after years her workers would decide to make such a huge change.

@web3isgreat “an asset-backed stablecoin that uses cryptoassets like bitcoin, ETH, and other stablecoins as collateral”.
Seriously?! That’s considered ASSET-backed?

@ExtinctionR@social.rebellion.global @JonChevreau@mstdn.ca Sadly, I will guess that countries that have oil, like Canada, may instead double down.

@Lana@beige.party @jmcrookston@mastodon.social It is, but given that it trains on what is available online, it’s not surprising — AI just reflects back the biases in its training material. (And this is a *huge* problem with AI in general.)
@kjhealy@mastodon.social @HollyGoDarkly@wandering.shop This is delightfully geeky.

@SomeGadgetGuy@techhub.social @Tooden@aus.social I *was* an Apple fan for literally 40 years. Tim destroyed that.

@feliz@norden.social @Daojoan@mastodon.social I think he sees most of us as NPCs at best. I'm not sure Andreessen realizes that other people have interior lives.

@Richard_Littler@mastodon.social (Sea Monkeys were so damned disappointing. Someone really needs to figure out giant-sized tardigrades, as those would be much cooler.)

@tzimmer_history I think it’s likely that MAGA as an organized entity doesn’t survive the loss of Trump. (I’m certainly hoping that’s the case.)

@Daojoan@mastodon.social @kristinHenry@vis.social I dunno, can they make more money from cancer cures or horny chatbots?

@lizzard @oatmeal To be serious, I’ve seen zoos put them in interconnected containers, a bit like fancy Habitrails. I was more fantasizing about one entire room wall with a big sheet of glass and dirt behind, where the delightful little critters could dig to their wrinkled hearts’ content. (Admittedly in this fantasy my pet capybaras often watch them dig.)

@jessicaekomane@post.lurk.org @TwoClownsEating@beige.party Damn, I didn’t realize she had died.

@jessicaekomane@post.lurk.org @TwoClownsEating@beige.party 94 is a good run, especially as it seems she was active until recently.

@ndrwy@zeroes.ca Terrific! It’s really helpful to see the current results in historical context (especially with the recent spike).

@benlockwood@ecoevo.social @GhostOnTheHalfShell@masto.ai I’m in.
That said, the post-Jihad Dune universe is pretty terrible too.

@timnitGebru@dair-community.social I will never understand how one can advocate transhumanism and believe in the digital uploading of consciousness but still think that skin melanin matters in some way.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat@mas.to So if I crop that screenshot, I can “own” the same NFT image.

@oatmeal If we can have ant-farms in our houses, why can we have naked mole rat farms? I'd love to have one wall that is glass and filled with dirt, tubers, and these lovelies.
