Let them towel you off, maybe get a snack. What’s the worst that could happen?
Is this a screenshot of Tumblr, that’s a screenshot of 4chan, that’s a screenshot of a news article?
What a future.
It’s like the human centipede, if it was a complete circle.
I wonder, if you twist one of the people could you make a human Mobius strip?
Memba when they marketed the web as this great big all-encompassing thing where you could find anything if you knew where and how to look? The modern web is like 6 sites chained together in a Content Centipede.
In a couple of years it will be almost exclusively ai content that’s been trained on other ai content.
I’ll be honest, I’m kinda hype to see the ragged edge of AI trained on AI trained on AI down a few dozen levels deep. The slow literal disintegration of data outputted by a system that has no concept of meaning, only pattern-matching, is gonna end up building entire cities in the uncanny calley
Take a lemmy screenshot and post it to Facebook
Five giant websites, each filled with screenshots of the other four.

The Estonian Union for the Protection of Animals (EUPA) said the wolf had low blood pressure when it arrived at the veterinarian’s office, which may have explained its docile nature after the men carried it to their car to warm it up.
Aww
“He was calm, slept on my legs. When I wanted to stretch them, he raised his head for a moment,” he added.
Awwww
If there was some way to be absolutely sure it wouldn’t kill or seriously injure me I would definitely pet and/or play with a wolf.
Of course, with those caveats I could also say the same for bears, lions, tigers, cougars, panthers, …
I think keeping a bear, even a very well trained and “domesticated” one is cruel and horrible. I also think that Russians make it look super fun and awesome on youtube.
But eventually the bear is probably going to maul me and my last thought will be the Chris Rock quote on Siegfried and Roy… “That tiger didnt go crazy, THAT TIGER WENT TIGER!”
There is a guy in my area that runs a wolf refuge and therefore has a zoo license. Local police took possession of an illegally owned black bear cub and came to him because it was too domesticated to release and they couldn’t find a zoo that would take it. He refused but then relented because the next option was euthanasia. Now his wolf sanctuary has a black bear that he raised by hand and does “wrestling” shows with. He and the bear pretend to wrestle in a bunch of different poses. The bear could snap him like a twig, but is clearly very affectionate towards him.
