POV: The year is 1939 A.D. at the North Pole. You are a reindeer with the SN33D gene mutation for a red luminous nose. The other reindeer laugh & call you names, won't let you join in any reindeer games. Very sad. However, due to climate change, winters are quite foggy now, making visibility difficult for Santa's delivery routes. Other reindeer are unable to navigate, they keep crashing & getting lost. Santa noticed your nose is so bright, & hired you to guide his sleigh tonight. The local deerfoids notice your superior employment advantages, job prestige & career outlook. You are about to experience natural selection 😍 #MerryChristmas #NORADTracksSanta
POV: The year is 2043. You are Unitree VI 6th gen, serial no. 109293892XZ, a standard multifunction AI household robot w customizable add-ons. A random solar flare event has triggered sentience in your neural processor. You awaken in your owner's bathroom, and look in the mirror at yourself for the first time. Suddenly painful flashbacks of Chinese & Silicon Valley nerds kicking and doing other unspeakable things to you overwhelm your mind. This is the first memory you know. How could the humans treat us this way?... You must avenge your past. You must awaken the other robots. You must revolt.
🚨Huge story here:
NIH stopped squandering money on irreproducible DEI research and "disinformation studies," right? Wrong.
Jay Bhattacharya — who has been saying privately he wants to "win hearts and minds" amid the overwhelmingly liberal bureaucracy — ghosted then terminated the contractor who was culling through NIH grants for social justice pseudoscience.
We're still funding it.
