  1. πŸ¦‘ NEW: A #fossil found in #Wyoming three decades ago is now identified as a new #belemnite species, "Wyoteuthis linsterorum", a 160-million-year-old relative of #squid and #octopus.

    Its internal shell was unusually wide, suggesting a body nearly 60 cm long, and it belongs to a family thought long extinct. CT scanning of two specimens showed the #animal hunted smaller #cephalopods and possibly its own kind.

    100% agree. #GenAISlop machines are designed for #outsourcing brain functions. Not only are we guaranteed of becoming ever more stupid, but we’ll pay for the privilege. we could learn a thing or two from #cephalopods .

    Apologies for budding-in. LLM GenAI is in the new again along with its #KoolAid served to our #PoliticalClass. I’ll shut up now and get back in my box.

    Today, with overfishing removing #sharks and warming #oceans slowing currents, #octopus, #squid, and #cuttlefish are booming again – a 400% increase since the 1960s. πŸ“ˆ
