God I love writing first drafts

There is no interiority going on here. No clever withholding of info. Just five thousand words of incoherent shrieking where I just cram every cool plot twist in as soon as it springs from my brain like a half-baked Athena. I have named a character after a chainsaw. This shit goes hard as hell.

well. in AI news, it seems like a Chinese company has managed to match OpenAI's most advanced models in efficacy and is taking it to market for 3% of what OpenAI charges.

which may be the first tolling of the bell for the ai bubble to finally pop

640-year-old fly, anyone?

We're not sure how long this fly has been in this 14th-century notary's notebook, but it was a favorite among the students who spotted it in class a few weeks ago.

Feral kittens are so funny. They are so angry about everything--- including being petted, even when they start purring and cuddling--- but they want attention very much.

This boy is going to be fine. He's about 8 weeks old and has a little respiratory infection, but his biggest problem right now is that people keep repeatedly picking him up and calling him very cute and tiny and cuddling him.

I like how when doing a threat display, some owls will adopt an extremely wide-eyed, threatening facial expression

But some other owls won't change their expression at all, and will just be like "bro really c'mon i'm very big u really want some of this?"
