More bad news about Surviving Earth

Already suspected that Impossible Pictures will screw up the GABI just from the fact they have this as an episode at all (since the GABI was NOT catastrophic for anything as it's often portrayed), but this just confirms that they'll push the traditional, outdated, imperialist narrative of "superior North American animals motucompete primitive South American evolutionary failures" again. Remember, there were no large terror birds left in South America by this point.

To say nothing of Tim Haines once again failing to realize that "phorusrhacid" is NOT the same thing as Phorusrhacos.

The humanoid I actually want: one that can organize my basement

Today I spent the whole day cleaning out my basement with my father. And the entire time I kept thinking about AI agents / humanoids.

Imagine dropping a humanoid robot in there and saying:

  • Build this shelving system.
  • Sort everything.
  • Label the boxes.
  • Group related stuff together.
  • Suggest what we can probably throw away.
  • Ask me when you need something.

And then it emerges 5 days later having completed the task perfectly.

I keep saying “we live in the future,” but days like this make me realize how far away that future still feels. I don’t want to wait another 10 years for this.
