We got inside Silicon Valley’s dating market, where Anthropic and OpenAI employees, soon to be basking in the glory of upcoming IPOs, are spending upwards of $500k on elite matchmakers to find love in a city teeming with hot girls that might be foreign assets. A friendly reminder, gentlemen, as @nicolewizman1 writes: if she’s a 10, and you haven’t paid half a mill to find her, she’s probably a sex-spy. piratewires.com/p/matchmaker…

ok but generational fumble not putting this on sharks instead
Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7 the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day: > two cameras watch every salmon that swims past > AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse > then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away > the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao
