All this anxiety about AI. Things will calm down when we limit its use to tasks it's well suited to. Like opening Pod Bay doors.

this the horse btw
The picture shows a fishhook made of wild boar tusk. Only the curved, pointed end and the upper part are visible. The rest is wrapped in fishing line. The fishing line is made of twisted bast.
Fishing some 5,300 years ago: a Neolithic fishhook made of wild boar tusk, wrapped with a fishing line. The size of the fishhook is 6.5 cm. It was used to catch pikes.
Found in the lake-dwelling settlement of Arbon Bleiche 3, Switzerland.

i mean, she's not wrong.
My photo shows a woman’s bonnet laid flat for display at the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. The woollen yarn is brown in colour, possibly as a result of millennia spent in a peat bog. It has an inricate lace-like appearance. It has two long strings for fastening. Made using an ancient technique known as ‘språng’ which produces a textile with natural elasticity. Discovered in 1942 in Bredmose bog on a so-called ‘bog body’ of a woman aged 20-25 years old. The bonnet was placed over her hair which was braided and coiled on top of her head.
A rare and delicate survival from Bronze Age Denmark!
