How deep is the reflecting pool, and how bad do winters get there? I would suggest nerite snails instead, mostly so assholes don't try to catch and eat the plecos.

So, training AI to read hands more correctly, or trying to make an AI sign language interpreter.

The boy next door. This fucking psychopath decided from a very early age that he enjoyed hurting other kids. Me, specifically, he singled out because I always fought back, always had a big reaction, and always got involved when he started beating on the littler kids (especially the autistic kid around the corner.) If you can imagine a stereotypical childhood bully thing, he did it. And he laughed the entire time until we finally pulled together and got him caught doing it for fun.

Unsurprisingly, having mastered torturing kids in his own neighborhood, he went on to join the military.

If Richard Dawkins thinks that his instance of Claude is sentient, then it just proves that no one is completely immune to this particular glitch in the human brain. We'll find some other illogical fable to latch onto.

Which is wild. Theologically, the Bible is equal parts history, allegory, and legal framework. Not everything in it is meant to be taken literally, or even treated as error-free, or even as a permanent and immutable institution.

Hell, it even has porn in it. Straight up, Song of Solomon is just the Bible's center fold.
