Real talk, though, this is what can happen when Europeans surrender their actual identities to partake in the social and political advantages of "whiteness." Their "heritage" becomes corporate logos.

the thing about AI is even if it were accurate and good at what it's claimed to be doing, we, like all organisms, are extremely lazy! the goal of every organism is to expend as little energy as possible in the propagation of itself. to that end, anything that we can offload, we get REALLY bad at!

Is R2-D2's wolf whistle canonically of the Star Wars universe or is it only in the Meco version? Because if the former it might lead to interesting speculation on how that sound made its way across galaxies and aeons to land on Earth.

I'm honestly floored. How do we mass produce a flavorful soup? Well, we get a really, really big pot, and some really big bowls of ingredients, and then we huck in the bowls of ingredients at the right times. A robot helps us stir because the pot is very large.
