Synopsis:
Elena has been searching for her abducted rider for a long time. Memories of her rider haunt her day and night. She hits home in a small town to recuperate and get her act together to find a new lead to her rider. She finds it in the town with Riverclaw, another dragon who too lost his rider to abductors. Elena is determined to find her rider, however is prepared for the realisation that happens.

Author's note: this story features someone who is not in a healthy mind space. It has been my way of exploring a new character who has undergone a traumatic event that left scars they don't yet realise. I advise readers who are sensitive to subjects of self-harm, starvation, and death to exercise discretion.

A new study suggests that humans can sense the Earth’s magnetic field, a phenomenon known as magnetoreception. This ability, common in many animals, could help humans navigate and orient themselves in space. Magnetoreception could be a hidden sense that we have not fully explored, and it could have applications in medicine, technology, and education.

AI may make humans dumber. AI could erode our cognitive abilities, creativity, and social skills, as we become more dependent on machines and algorithms. We need to balance the benefits and risks of AI, and cultivate our human intelligence and values.

Humans have a unique sense of order that allows them to remember the sequence of information, such as words, numbers, or events. This ability is essential for language, culture, and cognition, but it is not shared by other animals or our closest relatives, the bonobos. Humans have evolved a special brain mechanism for sequential memory, and that this mechanism could explain some of the differences between human and animal intelligence.

Inside the messy ethics of making war with machines

A soldier on the lookout for enemy snipers might do so through the Assault Rifle Combat Application System, a gunsight sold by the Israeli defense firm Elbit Systems.

According to a company spec sheet, the “AI-powered” device is capable of “human target detection” at a range of more than 600 yards, and #human #target#identification” (presumably, discerning whether a person is someone who could be shot) at about the length of a football field.

Anna Ahronheim-Cohen, a spokesperson for the company, told MIT Technology Review, “The system has already been tested in real-time scenarios by fighting infantry soldiers.”

A team of scientists say they've found evidence that early human ancestors went through a "prolonged, severe bottleneck" in which ~1,280 individuals capable of reproducing were able to sustain a population for about 117,000 years.

A global population maintained by only 1280 people? That's the size of a slightly larger-than-average high school. It's mind-boggling that they managed not to die out over 117,000 years.

It's very quotidian, working class, about people taking a break from their labors. But it also represents a kind of #human #solidarity, something basic and fundamental. Not to say that I want a life of hard physical labor, but I do find myself wanting more and more to work with my hands, working with others, creating things, and then clearly resting from my labors.

#Human ancestors nearly went extinct 900,000 years ago

A new technique analysing modern
#genetic data suggests that pre-humans survived in a group of only 1,280 individuals.

“About 98.7% of human ancestors were lost,” says Haipeng Li, a population geneticist at the University of Chinese Academy of
#Sciences in Beijing, who co-led the study. He says that the fossil record in Africa and Eurasia between 950,000 and 650,000 years ago is patchy and that “the #discovery of this bottleneck may explain the chronological gap”.

"If committed as part of a #Saudi gov policy to murder migrants, these killings, which appear to continue, would be a #crime against #humanity," said #Human #Rights #Watch.

Saudi border guards allegedly killed at least hundreds of Ethiopian migrants and asylum-seekers—including women and children—from Yemen between March 2022 and June 2023, Human Rights Watch revealed Monday.

I post what I post because I'm #human. Humans aren't one-track thinkers. It can't be about #politics all the time.. Or about #cats..or #espresso..or #art, all the time. Our minds are every where, all over the place. This is why I post about anything and everything...and nothing at all.
:)

i am so traumatized from #bots pretending to be #human on twitter that from now on i only want to follow accounts that are run by actual ppl, but idk what to believe now that checkmarks don't mean anything anymore. even on ppl's personal websites, ppl anonymize so much about their online presence now — i'm guessing out of fear of losing their jobs? that or their entire online presence revolves around their work & that's not what i'm looking for

I'm torn, because in amongst an important, likely-formative story in the history of American journalism & fascism… is this human – Kari Newell – who's probably just an asshole.

I've no idea if she'd been trying to keep her side of the street clean since 2008 – when her license was suspended for #drunkdriving – but she's failed lately.

She's going through a divorce, trying to run a business... and now her dirty laundry is being aired out to thousands, maybe millions.

Scientists confirm that human fossilized remains discovered in China are unlike any hominid found before.

I love stories like this... when you consider the fact that less than 1/10th of 1 percent of all living things become fossilized, it shows you how incredibly sparse our understanding of the ancient past really is. 🤯

@arstechnica Letting big tech make all these decisions on their own is pretty risky.

Due to the probably coming assault of intelligent bot-fueled personalised propaganda (probably by December this year), it will become necessary to prove one’s humanness very soon.

But that doesn’t have to be where privacy ends if nation-states step in as the legal providers #human #authentication and guarantee #anonymity at least in from the corporate world.

But they payrolled the politicians.

A really good look at #AI, the unavoidable #bias of AI #systems, and how no such #system should ever be relied upon without sound #human supervision and judgment.

Indirectly, it highlights how AI can't be trusted to properly analyze #data, so how can anyone realistically expect any such tool to create true artistry of any kind, at any level?

They are #math* that can only work with math, and they're terrible to not very good at even that core function.

*it's an abbreviation, no "s" needed.

In shock news, #AI is intrinsically #Racist, and it is only going to get worse as more and more #Data is scraped.

"...Many #Tech companies have operated under the assumption that training #ArtificialIntelligence on more data can help fix the ongoing problem of #AIs replicating #Human #Prejudices. But a study has found that AIs trained on increasingly larger #DataSets can produce even more racist results..."

#Aliens may have already visited #Earth.

Presuming that they'd be here at any point during our wafer-thin moment of existence on this #planet is the pinnacle of #narcissitic #human arrogance.

We're also far out in the sticks of the #MilkyWay #galaxy.

Maybe we only get scanned every #epoch (1,000,000 years) or even half an epoch. They could have "just" missed early #HomoSapien.

Anyway, the premise for 65, on #Netflix, "the atmosphere is breathable" is the most unbelievable part of the plot.

Always nice to highlight a #conservation success story. Or at least the start of what is hopefully a longterm #success.

#Kipunji were only identified as a new genus in 2005. The animals were/are threatened by #habitat #degradation and #human-#wildlife interactions. Both issues require conservation management in #relational coordination with local #stakeholders.

🔗 https://news.mongabay.com/2023/07/meet-the-kipunji-a-rare-primate-success-story-in-tanzania/

Quote from image at the link: “Kipunji live in montane forests at altitudes between 1,300 and 2,450 meters in groups with an average of 30 individuals. They eat a wide variety of fruits, bark, leaves and more, occasionally coming down from the trees to raid farmers’ fields, which brings them into conflict with people.

Folks that have an attacking tone don't do any good deeds for their cause. Been seeing this lately on Mastodon too and it makes me sad.

It doesn't make sense that you are an advocate for good things, but patronize people who are trying their best.

Can't stress this enough: Always choose kindness. That's something you can do in any situation. #Kindness #Human #Mastodon #Conversation #SocialMedia

@itskaufmann @nino @cognition @cogsci @philosophy Yes, anthropocentrism per se won't do. Understanding might be an avenue for a while, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/understanding/, creativity hardly, if we speak clearly, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/creativity/#CreaArtiInte, and even moral agency and responsibility aren't anymore a clear case versus AI, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/computing-responsibility/#ComMorAge. At present , AI lacks wetware-like embodiment and a personal social history, but for how long? Just thinking before going to bed. 🤔

I have started a thread today

I call it the infinite thread 🙄😁

I will keep expanding it

Each time with new topics, how we manage to fight and blow up the system they have imposed on us

For a better world for all of us, for a more human ❤️

For each theme I will also write a poem

This thread will stay pinned so everyone can find the beginning of the infinite 😂😂

Ihr kennt doch bestimmt diese super tollen Beiträge in den verschiedenen sozialen Netzwerken.

"Ein *RICHTIGER* Mann ist..."
"Ein *RICHTIGER* Mann tut..."
"Eine *RICHTIGE* Frau ist..."
"Eine *RICHTIGE* Frau tut..."

bla bla, ich könnte 🤮

Nun folgt meine persönliche Ansicht.

Ein richtiger !MENSCH! -

-schert sich nicht um die Meinung einer konservativen Gesellschaft.

-toleriert und akzeptiert jede Person, unabhängig von dessen Geschlecht, Herkunft, Hautfarbe etc.

-lebt sein Leben auf seine ganz individuelle weiße.

-schenkt Statussymbolen und dem Kapitalismus keine besondere Beachtung und Bedeutung.

-lehnt Machtkämpfe von Staaten und deren zerstörerischen Kämpfen in Form von Kriege ab.

-fördert den Frieden.

-hilft in der Not.

-achtet Tiere und Natur.

-trägt Liebe in sich, keinen Hass.

Es gibt noch so viel mehr, was ich hinzufügen könnte, doch ich denke ihr wisst worauf ich hinaus will.

Seit glücklich und feiert euer Leben, ich erhebe meine Dose Panaché auf euch.
