"It is also trained using data partnerships with [...] the Cornell Lab of Ornithology [...]" @cornellbirds.bsky.social I was under the impression that Macaulay Library assets were licensed for education, research, and training Merlin. Can you clarify what datasets were used for this "artwork"?

I think the event at OMSI went well. I included a lot of actual science facts I made up so, that helped. Thanks all! I was stunned at the audience size, and the support for the OMSI after dark series.

Re: shiny hunting discourse: The only incorrect way to shiny hunt is to get overly concerned about how others do it. The community is so big that there are bound to be cliques/subcommunities that mainly just support each other. It's about sharing *your* journey however you hunt.

Sometimes you make a new comic, and sometimes you redraw an old one because you lost the original high res file 😅

As a recipient of federal grants from #NIH (for now! 😭) that funds research in my lab, I'd like to sincerely thank American taxpayers on #TaxDay for investing in scientific research that lays the foundation for medical and technological innovation in this country and keeps us ALL safe and healthy

y'all KNOW what mother fucking day it is!!!!!!

hands you millipede-sized scolipede

The clam shrimp in one of my samples had all died of old age, but I didn't notice and dropped in an extra day's worth of yeast. By the next day, the water was really cloudy and smelled bad, so I put the half-filled container outside. Mosquitos took it over, and now the water is crystal clear again.

Bloody hell. Researchers invented a disease, published two fake papers to see if LLM’s would ingest them and kick them up as fact — and then it broke containment and all the major AI’s bought in. Information pollution. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hello, I am new here. And very very smol. Newly metamorphosed Pseudacris. In a parking lot. #herps

“Google has created a misinformation crisis. Studies have shown that people tend to trust what an AI tells them without question, with one report finding that only 8% of users actually double checked an AI’s answer.”🧪

The ‘unfair’ job of being a conservationist in a world working against nature

I will never use AI in my work. Period.

In the last two weeks, 1% of new NSF awards were in biology. Just one grant of 97. One. Biology in the US is on hold until there’s a regime change.

Some pixel drawings. #art #sciart #pixelart

I'm gonna be collecting figures of all my friends WoLs on a shelf like they're anime figures

hey did you know that a viable way to get a DNA sample from cephalopods is to literally scrape them with a kitchen brush this is ROV SuBastian from the Schmidt Ocean Institute deploying the KBOS (Kitchen Brush Of Science) on a megalocranchia which is understandably less than thrilled 🧪🦑

Like a lot of things rich guys believe and fund, the AI consciousness thing is in part driven by a desire to abscond from the responsibility of what they've made. It also explains why so many of them think we're in a simulation. Doesn't matter if everybody died if we're all just 1s and 0s baby!

I've gotta get my goofy ass to pudding church!! Happy birthday @puddiwhop.bsky.social !! 🍮🍮🍮 #firagallery

the genAI people have been saying the whole world is about to completely change for like three years now, but so far I'm just a lot more annoyed

welcome to WEEVIL HELL, today we will be playing *audience roars* MUCRO or UNCUS

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

Met this cutie pie just now cleaning up the garden. It's a northern red salamander, the Virginia state salamander in fact! I don't think it was happy I was rearranging its house. #ForbiddenGummyCandy

I have been weirdly consistent since Gen4. I guess when Gen11 finally drops in like two years or so I'll have to take the grass starter.

Today is one of those days where I’m stuck in bed, and it makes me really appreciate @pseudopod.org . Pseudopod was the very first podcast I ever listened to back in 2010 or 2011, and I’m very happy to be able to support them on Patreon. If you enjoy spooky babes like me, you’ll love Pseudopod.

I think Gecqua deserves some memes- I think he makes a great earring. #pokemon

i know buds mean well when they post stuff like ‘i cant believe chuck tingle went from erotica to traditional bestseller lists’ and thats FINE. i take it in the kind way it is intended. at same time, i want to live in a world where fantastical sexuality in art is not seen as a gutter to emerge from
