A quick bit of research shows these dudes are legit. I’m leaving it up in case anyone wants to help them out.

Everyone, this is Aww. One of the few places left to just be nice and decent. Any incivility well be removed. Let’s start the new year off more civilly, please.

Hey Squid. Please edit he title to have [AI] in it? Getting a lot of reports about that. Also the “deadly” ain’t really accurate either.

1. that’s freaking adorable.

2. where can I get that “welcome” mat?

The idea for a 4wk minimum is to combat spam. It can be quite a lot without these seemingly unnecessary restrictions.

Yeah it’s getting pretty uncivil in these comments. Sorry, op, comments are getting locked.

Cute photo though, it’s an old school meme.

It already is. Autonomous systems have been around for a while.

Holy shit what a chonker!

This gif is a classic. On fleek was slang kids used over a decade ago. My nephews and nieces used it all the time, and I had fun ruining it by overuse. Nothing kills slang faster than an old guy “pretending” to be hip.

You don’t pick out the bones first?

There’s also the opposite problem, when you can’t sleep because you don’t want to fast forward to all the bullshit you’ll have to get back to tomorrow.

Gravity must be set too high. Gotta drop it a few points.

Thank you for that interesting read. Seems like quite a lot of effort and risk for a cheap toaster.

You cut your power cables?

You can actually do it on a much shorter time scale, depending on the species in question. A Soviet scientist in the 50s started it with foxes and had noticeable results by the 4th generation, less than 2 decades later.

The real catch here is in the semantics, defining your terms and expectations. How much genetic drift you’re aiming for, and what traits you select, what results are functionally “good enough”, etc…

In this example, we probably don’t need fully domesticated animals, some tamed generations should be good enough.

The solution here would be to just domesticate them.
