  1. Der weltberühmte #Bonobo #Kanzi ist mit 44 Jahren verstorben. Er verstand gesprochene Sprache, kommunizierte mit Symbolen und stellte unser Verständnis von #Sprache und Intelligenz infrage. Ein Nachruf – und eine Reise durch 40 Jahre #Forschung: riffreporter.de/de/wissen/bono

    "Kanzi has died at the age of 44. The iconic bonobo reshaped our understanding of ape intelligence, challenging long-held beliefs about what separates humans from our closest living relatives.

    (. . .)

    Koko the gorilla and Washoe the chimp communicated via sign language, but Kanzi took communication to a new level, demonstrating a profound capacity to communicate via symbols and comprehend verbal English.

    (. . .)

    Famously, Kanzi was also a gamer. I first learned of Kanzi in 2006 when I spotted a bootlegged NHK Youtube video showing a bonobo playing Pac-Man with both proficiency and delight. I corresponded with Savage-Rumbaugh about the video, and she told me: 'This film is so compelling and there is so much of it (over 300 hours) in so many different natural circumstances, that any thought that these clips represent anything other than their real competencies, become unreasonable.'"

  3. #Apple review: #Kanzi - a red apple, received mistakenly in a shopping delivery, rather than the #RedDelicious. Texture: good - crisp and crunchy all the way through. No floury softness. Flavour: SWEET. Disappointingly single-note sweet. Lacks the Red Delicious tart skin-flavour.

    Red Delicious still the best apple, so long as you get one that isn't over-ripe, bruised or over-chilled.

  4. it's raining and cold and I didn't feel like going for a walk in the dark 😬 so I went straight for the cheese sandwich part of the day 😋 related, #Kanzi #apples are quite nice

  5. Kanzi-branchevereniging ‘ja dat kan, zi ommezijde’ doet alvast een gooi naar de prijs voor de slechtste slagzin van 2023.

  6. "This is why we can't have nice things" and why open solutions like #Rhasspy are absolutely necessary to eventually embrace the full potential of #voice control.
