All of this AI is fun, but useless. Someone needs to feed every single Rush Limbaugh interview, radio show episode, news report and podcast into a decent speech to text system. Then combine it with all his writing, and train some GPT-3 type system from it.

Add in some deepfake tech (or just some shitty cellphone lipsync tech) and feed it current events, so we can get video Rush takes on all current events!

I wonder if it could be done in such a way that it was really like him ... still alive .. and super creepy. Our podcast heroes may never have to die! They will be ghosts in the machine!

It will be like that BattleStar Galactica prequel, Caprica, except even more horrific!

I spent the morning learning about water conservation and the macro-biology in our city's main river system. In just a 20 second collection we found numerous different freshwater invertebrates, from mayfly larva to snails and water penny. The more diverse the collection of critters the healthier the waterway. Most areas, at least in the US, offer Citizen Science programs where you can get involved in monitoring the health of your streams, creeks, and rivers too 💦

"They hang the man and flog the woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
Yet let the greater villain loose
That steals the common from the goose

The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine"

@mystik Ok, for the tl;dr'ers, short version:

If you hate the opposing party view in government, YOU are the problem. it's legitimizing the structure that has the power, by contributing to it's legitimacy by endorsing the "other" side.

Feeding the monster with his right hand only, does not starve it's left hand to death.

scientists fear that bats are evolving into cats, and cats are evolving into bats. This "circular evolution" has apparently happened an uncountable number of times, according to the fossil record. "This has probably happened an uncountable number of times," says Arnold Nerd, Professor of Cats at the University of St. Christopher Columbus. We reached out to a linguistics expert who, while refusing to be named in this article, offered the opinion that "[this] is surely why the two words rhyme"
