      There’s a short story by Stanislaw Lem (who also wrote Solaris ) about scientists who train a slime mold to be intelligent by forcing it to grow only in the shape of letters, then forcing the letters to be real words, … and so on, until they able to have full (if slow) conversations with humans.

      I just realized, it’s kind of presciently like training an LLM. Story is at least 40 years old, so…

      Even better: It’ll return to the wetland that was there before it was developed. i find the idea that this prominent spot will likely be the first such pond in the district to sprout cattails and the like, somewhat poetic.

      Edit: I also just realized that the “drain the swamp” crowd is now in a losing battle with said swamp.

        i mean if he’s been a politician since the 80s i’ve been one since the Aughts. All i’ve done is build a few homeless shelters and parks and make sure the food banks were well supplied. Highest office i held was being on the executive board of the corporation that ran all that shit. That’s good politics if you ask me.
