Followers of the religion based on the one and only true language model, scriptureGPT, find that their scripture differs depending on the initial seed. The followers are now on the search for the one and only true seed.

FWIW I don't recommend outright deleting your Twitter account. After 30 days your username becomes free so anyone can register it to impersonate you. Deleting your account also doesn't delete your data from their system. Best thing to do is set your bio to your Mastodon handle, then periodically tweet a list of places where your followers can find you so your account isn't deleted for inactivity.

Now Henske et al. show the first experimental data to support this hypothesis! These gorgeous insects are incredibly hard to work with - this is a great achievement. Check out Jonas' et al's preprint here: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.08.519619v1
It's that time of the year when we realize that our black and white #dog is not black and white. #IdąPsięta #DogsOfMastodon
Imagine being the most diverse life form in the world, at least 400,000 species in every conceivable shape and color, and still not being the preferred spelling of your name, because a band was quite good sixty years ago. No, Google docs. Bad Google docs. #beetles #insects #spellcheck
Good news for psychedelics researchers – and users. "After decades of legal restriction, US states have been swiftly moving toward increased access to psychedelics."
My son James has an article published in JAMA. He is a lawyer, not MD.
Podoba mi się, jak źle skonstruowane boty wybuchają w twarz ich twórcom.

Luddite working with hi-tech.
#RuralBroadband provider by accident. Starting a small LoRaWAN project to monitor our wetlands. Coding in #Python. Dealing with dirty data, cleaning them when time allows.
#Atheist. I don't *believe* in #science – science is the *only* thing that protects us from belief.
Fuck nazis.
My account on Twitter is still up, for good reasons. https://twitter.com/szescstopni
