@Valdevia_Art @aakashgupta Why would it be disrespectful to called it AI?
Most AI now is irrecognizable from hand work.. is an extremely complex algorithm trained on billions of data points accomodate to reach the most accurate request
I would take it as a compliment

Bacteria that respire electricity off metal already exist. The real mechanism is somehow wilder than Eduardo's AI render.
Geobacter sulfurreducens grows protein nanowires made of stacked heme cytochromes that conduct current over micrometer distances. The bacterium uses them to respire by transferring electrons directly onto iron oxides and electrodes. It forms biofilms up to 130 micrometers thick on anode surfaces. The entire metabolism runs on moving electrons onto solid metal. Live cultures get pulled off iron pipe infrastructure where the bacteria had been slowly corroding the metal for years. The bacteria were the corrosion.
Shewanella oneidensis pulls the same trick through a different architecture. It encodes 41 distinct c-type cytochromes that form an electron transfer chain spanning the cell membrane to the outside world. Hook a colony to a platinum electrode and you can watch the metabolism on an oscilloscope. Voltage as breath. The same organism can respire onto Fe³⁺, Mn⁴⁺, U⁶⁺, or Cr⁶⁺. It breathes uranium.
The technical name is extracellular electron transfer. Labs at UMass Amherst, UC Irvine, and Yale run cultures on conductive surfaces and read their respiration as current. A company called Aquacycl already sells commercial microbial fuel cells that treat industrial wastewater by harvesting electrons from these bacteria as they eat.
Eduardo's fungus needed humans to build power lines first. Iron-respiring bacteria predate atmospheric oxygen on this planet by hundreds of millions of years. The electricity-eating organism already evolved. Eduardo just gave it a scale and a body the AI can render.

Copper rot is a fungus that, through yet unknown means, obtains energy from electricity. This species enters cables through exposed metal, then grows outwards, using fire to disperse its spores. It is not advised to touch it, as it is conductive enough to cause electrocutions.

Simon beat up an eldritch entity so vast it could throw *galaxies* at him. Not a fallacy

What's the worst argument out of these?

@Kitsunetsurugi @BadMedicalTakes Im currently taking my bachelor's is anthropology and while you definitely can tell sex from recovered skeletal remains its not as consistent and reliable as one might think. It end up being essentially our best guess rather than taking a look and saying "yup thats a woman"
English

@BadMedicalTakes I neither understand the left's defensiveness about the reality of bone structures nor the right's obsession with pretending like that's in any way an own.
What magical properties do bones have that out of all things you'd use them for your agenda?

@G0ffThew My friends 10 yrs back told me to read it cuz it is a masterpiece, but I always looked at the volume size and thought it intimidating. Maybe it is time to jump on it this summer.
English

Yeah at this point the last 8 episodes could be blue lock and it would still cinch anime of the year

If Witch Hat Atelier stays this good to the end, it might actually surpass Mob Psycho for me. What a masterpiece!

@33elkMTG @Jest_001 Not gonna lie, ive only ever seen "i hate combo" and "i hate stax", never the others. The geneal sentiment i got is that people hate the things that dont let them play magic. People have gotten close to the counterspell and removal complaint but I have never the big creature one
English

@Jest_001 its just like "i hate control" "i hate combo" "i hate removal spells" "i hate counterspells" "i hate big creature decks" "i hate stax" "i hate freespells"
at some point you just hate magic the gathering and that's fine the games not for everyone i guess
English

@LasterMtg @UsagiKaede1 @Scrubbums @SaffronOlive Thats probably because you hang out with people who play card games lol. I know lots of people who wouldn't know blue eyes
English

@UsagiKaede1 @ivilivilivilivi @Scrubbums @SaffronOlive I’m not comparing yu gi oh to pokemon. This all started because shivan dragon shouldn’t be in some sort of comparison with either. And yes at least for men I don’t know a single person my age who wouldn’t recognize blue eyes
English

@SotirisGalanos @SaffronOlive I guarantee you most people dont know what blue eyes is
English

@SaffronOlive I think people missed the point: everyone knows who Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Charizard are, even outside of said franchises due to their presence in many things. Nobody outside of MtG could name a single card outside of Black Lotus.
English

@andrees_joseph @SaffronOlive And blue eyes isn't nearly as iconic as Charizard, but that doesn't meat it isn't still iconic lol
English

@SaffronOlive Nowhere near as iconic as BEWD. Though to be fair we have an entire anime and user being the most gigachad anime card player of all time backing it up
English

@Scrubbums @SaffronOlive @UsagiKaede1 Thr same could be said about blue eyes lol. Charizard is known by everyone because pokemon is the biggest franchise is the entire world, so its not really a fair comparison to yugioh let alone MTG
English

@SaffronOlive @UsagiKaede1 Shivan dragon is definitionally not iconic.
Walk up to a person on the street, almost all of them will know Charizard
Most Magic players couldn’t point Shivan dragon out if you gave them 3 card art options

@sharintaint @G0ffThew Animation errors are very much different that being to cheep to higher animators at all lol
English

@G0ffThew I don't know how to tell you but animation errors are very much the norm for human drawn art too. It's so common that you're considered an ass for nitpicking them. People have put up with subpar animation forever because this shit is hard and mistakes happen. AI is no different.
English

This looks like garbage but even if it didn’t, it’s antithetical to the DIY ethic at the core of Bookworm. Very disappointing to see Wit Studio on this nonsense again
ukloim@ukloim
AI generated backgrounds in the opening of the new Ascendance of a Bookworm season. Very unfortunate.
English

@TylaferPage @viztur Look man, I think they are generic as well, but those are the biggest anime in the west so its fairly likly those are going to be someone's favorites. The only one that isnt crazy popular currently is hxh
English

@MTGSecretLair I thought one of the main point for limited stock was fast shipping. We ordered the dnd lairs almost a month ago
English

@literallyinept @MrSoggyRamen @MTGSecretLair Are they planning on selling it again or do you mean there other secret lair decks
English

@MrSoggyRamen @MTGSecretLair I hope they keep this price point in the future!
English

@prettybtchdusse Why the fuck would you need to know who they are? It kinda explains everything in the tweet lol. You dont need to know a person to engage with them
English

@WokeTiphereth @callumcormie @moose_man1125 @G0ffThew @inkblotPrincess But we should only listen to those who hate it and not those who like it?

@ryancoltlevy Were all the devils mention by makima are brought back from pochita's erasure and we see the ramifications of that
English

@ryancoltlevy If this is truly how chainsawman end i personally will be left unsatisfied and a bit disappointed with how many loose ends there are. However regardless of that im so happy to have been able to experience a serious like chainsawman at all. Also im just hoping for a part 3
English

@ivilivilivilivi @ContraTyrannis @G0ffThew nah her face hasn't changed, usually when people go from fat to skinny their face completely changes to the point of looking like different people.
btw calling someone else stupid while not knowing the difference between you're and your is peak.

How many troons does it take for people to admit Netflix's One Piece is a woke nightmare?
English

@Oswald_A_Lisker @LushCottontail @G0ffThew If bon clay is CIS it aint possible to be nonbinary or trans lol. They are also referred to using non gendered pronouns in the manga
English

@LushCottontail @G0ffThew Bon Clay makes more sense I guess. But his base form is clearly a CIS man with a maiden's heart and says as much. Also others have pointed out he was talking about his Devil Fruit being able to change his gender when he turns into people.
