Can the data-centers for AI be used to do something like search for an optimal (or near optimal) traveling salesman problem solution instead?

I was cleaning under the couch and found Pica's collection of hair ties and bottle caps. The first problem is she says I can't have the hair ties back? Is that fair?

But also there were some pretty fancy looking sapphires and a tiara in the pile? Pica says all cats have a tiara because "cats are royal"

But, I'm concerned about how she got these items. I don't think they are glass, they are very heavy. Thoughts? #catcrime #picacrime #picathecat #catsofmastodon

"Slay Girl! Manicure Superman" ?

@gloriouscow

Now that is a better question. But it's superman so. IDK just go with it.

@gloriouscow

Insects don't see things split up like that. It's integrated in their mind.

But you could talk to the ants at last. (or at least understand what they were going on about... you'd need pheromones to really fully communicate. ) That would be wonderful.

@gloriouscow

How is this body horror?

@weirdestate

I like the yellow fan and teal ceiling.

Too many patterns but that can be fixed. The rest of the house is a little shabby and I think they fixed it up rather well.

In fact. I might copy that ceiling. It's so cheerful.

@mattmcirvin @dhobern

It did mention "red kryptonite" I don't know much about that...

@apophis

They may have been looking at images of "insect colonies" for ideas.

Most people don't see that this is like trying to draw a cow and making something that looks like a giant dog instead.

@dhobern

The summary made it sound more nuanced. Superman takes on the ant traits of his own free will to communicate with them and they have come to earth with "an important message" so... not all hope is lost. It might be fun.

If you are a comic book artist and need to draw ants but don't have a reference image, you can use a wasp. Just leave off the wings. It'll be close enough.

(Although ants have hinged antennae and only some wasps have this feature... but for the body it's OK in a general way. )

Well I'm going to find a way to read this. These ants better not be a metaphor for COMMUNISM.

@dhobern

Mantises, termites and roaches are all in the same family. So that makes sense.

Ok but why do they look like termites? I swear to god "golden age" comic artists have never really looked at an ant.

Their legs aren't that bad, though...

@dashdsrdash

This is a process that orbits the ant form without ever being able to reach it.

@Wyatt_H_Knott

...yeah...

the "fossil bacteria" were totally the wrong size I think.

As soon as you can verify that life has started more than one time in a single solar system (and we aren't near that really, but there is something worth looking into again) that means it's probably in many solar systems and BOOM you have to presume there are space ants since ants are the most logical and advanced creatures in Earth's ecosystem and the temporary dominance of vertebrates is an aberration.

They will arrive and study us I'm certain. "What a curious planet" they will say.

@KateOfMind

That is probably more sensible. But I want there to be bacterial on everything.

Because then we can assume space ants are real, right?

If it's not the same that means there is bacteria on EVERYTHING basically.

Sadly I don't think we can know unless we send a way to test it up there OR find a way to bring it back.
