Happy #Arachtober !
🕷️💤 New paper in time for 🎃! Do #spiders really sleep? In our new study on #Portia fimbriata we tested all behavioural criteria of #sleep and found evidence for regulated, two-stage sleep with recurring REM-like stages. Out in @pnas.org! @roesslerdaniela.bsky.social 📄 tinyurl.com/3fky8ze7 🧵1/9

Maybe you should have tried working somewhere not named the National Accountability Bureau. But hey, Pakistan.

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.
I had my AI agent create an app called “Lunch” to help me with decision fatigue and boost my productivity. It has a few pictures of things I might like to eat. Tapping one spawns a subagent to order that item on Uber Eats and 60-90 minutes later I’m eating. It’s 600 thousand lines of JavaScript.

The funny thing is that he's upset that Obama compared his ersatz Disney Versailles to what he thinks is a low end chain restaurant while all the Fox flunkies (and some of the MSM too) are all clutching their pearls over Obama making fun of the Real Americans who love that low end chain restaurant.
Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Cornel West is still on the board of this.
Oh yeah, forgot about the Olympics that people from outside the US borders shouldn’t attend.
Always love talking to @libbyrainey.bsky.social, in this case about what a mayor could do before July 2028. Not only could Raman change out her Metro board seats, she could also change out her LA28 board seats. Imagine promising full transparency about what's being discussed in those meetings!

I think the fact he mentioned this along with many other completely batshit crazy things, may actually be germane to the story. But this is what passes for journalism these days.
Trump said the ongoing trade dispute between the two nations would be settled “pretty soon” and that Canada was “willing to give us anything at this moment.” globalnews.ca/news/1212115...

Yet another Musk-funded political spoiler aimed at keeping him and his businesses unencumbered by any rules other than his own.

We get similar emails at Bellingcat, usually from peolle who have been scammed and have asked ChatGPT for help.
Seems like ChatGPT encourages people to contact journalists to solve their personal tech problems: „Last night, someone emailed me (…) asking for an “independent investigation” into why their Verizon cell phone service wasn’t working on their iPhone.“ #aislog www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...
Private education centres in one province of Afghanistan are being shuttered for teaching too much English.

Ethereality in doctorates is probably bad. "Warner emailed documents to county staff that showed she had been given an ethereal doctorate from Breyer State Theology University in August 2022. The school, according to the court document and the university’s website, isn’t accredited."
Turkish Cyprus: "Should Yesilirmak fail to win re-election, he will almost certainly be arrested, after the [public prosecutor] had filed a request to lift his immunity earlier this year over [...] the “fake diploma scandal”, in which he allegedly received a counterfeit university degree."
Azerbaijan is forbidding Muslim dress. Iran says "Study here!"
