Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

I'm planning on purchasing some dubbing hardware and I'm budgeting very carefully for it. Money's tight. But I need to be able to dub video to my desktop machine for several upcoming projects and that may include video streaming of vintage video games to Twitch. This latter project is experimental.

Heads up, #science people, this "Earth BioGenome Project/Genomes on a Tree (GoaT)" uses generative AI extensively in their advertising, so I would definitely not trust anything that comes out of this. If they can't be bothered to use real graphics and make their own posts, I doubt their app is good.

Screenshot of a post from "Earth BioGenome Project" bluesky account advertising a new "science app" that has "we vibe coded the shit out of this" stink all over it. The post shows two slides, one which looks normal-ish with text over the top of slices of different photos of animals, plants, and fungi. The other one is definitely generated by some kind of Gen-AI steal prompt. It shows a goat in a lab coat by a weird looking "tree" and for some reason there are infographic type logos above sets of text, something that gen AI loves to do when "creating" slides.

The text of the main post reads:
How do you coordinate a global genome-sequencing effort? Before starting a new genome, researchers need to know: What's already been sequenced? What's underway? And where are the gaps? That's where Goat — Genomes on a Tree — comes in. Explore GoaT.

Just a guess, but I'm thinking it's the "have you checked out where those datasets came from?" question I asked - you guys should probably have your harddrives forensically examined 😘 just friendly advice, dweebs

Awww, the Earth BioGenome Project decided to block me. I bet it's because they downloaded those datasets that had all the illegal images and stolen embargoed data on it.

I'm probably going to get muted or blocked for this, but as a fellow science communicator, using AI-generated imagery/text is really a bad look all around. It not only steals from your fellow scientists because it's all trained on stolen data, it also makes up fake science.

#books Today's book is C.S. Forester's "The African Queen". An old-fashioned "Adventure story" that holds up delightfully well. Everyone knows the excellent movie with Bogart & Hepburn (And if you don't–go watch it) but the book itself is amazing on a whole different level, and is a joy to read.
