When I was at a little bookstore up in Halifax I found a book from The Museum of Jurassic Technology. It was an old-looking book and *claimed* to be from the 1930s. It was a catalog of the Museum with descriptions of the offerings. I was skeptical, but California is a very strange place, so I thought it might be real.
I decided NOT to look it up and just see what I could make of the object itself. Got about halfway in before I realized "Artists did this."
Magnificent!

I have conflicted feelings about it, because I've met so many people whose knowledge of the actual Jurassic, and of biology and history in general, is so bad they'd have no idea it wasn't intended to be scientifically true. -

I wanted to imagine them having a seance in the Winchester mansion to better understand billion year old motors.

I got caught in the tar pit of trying to figure out what paleontological sites a Los Angeles based organization would be physically nearby. -

@paco @CppGuy @futurebird add to that "in the future, it will be able to do X" which is essential Muskology
@paco @CppGuy @futurebird so far only Elizabeth Holmes has been punished for this practice, but it's absolutely the same thing that Musk and Altman do.

Is... that that really an "other hand" it sounds like it's the same hand?

When discussing new technology it's important to consider Both Sides.

@futurebird well, for most of the first century of movies, object permanence was at best an inconvenient side effect of the need for physical sets and physical models. Then along came CGI ...

@futurebird ai was invented because global warming wasn't making deserts fast enough.
