Any mention of Saudi Arabia makes me furious. That anger won't ever subside.

A handful of particularly forward thinking researchers have collected hundreds of thousands of hours of animal sounds. Prior to the advent of large language model AI it was impossible to parse this much data, but now these data sets are powering a renaissance in bioacoustics research.

Humanity is so close to achieving one of it's ancient primal dreams: communication with animals. This sounds like pure fantasy, and for a very long time it was. Early attempts like trying to teach dolphins english... doomed to failure.

Taxes went up 5000$ this year and all my money is gone lol ;_; I am ill suited to the hustle grind but the thought of returning to nursing - getting a real job again in the field I'm trained for - makes me so sad and angry. The medical industry in America is vile, evil, dehumanizing s*** and I don't want to go back to it. Really need money tho.

So I once again find myself as a mercenary nerd.

NYTimes should interview weed farm laborers. Srs the most Real America™ grouping of ppl you can find.
