For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.

A screenshot from Bluesky. The first poster says “Al has already accomplished a lot. But nearly all of the good isn't glorified. For instance the Nuclear Fussion [sic] reactor wouldn't have been possible without Al models.” Someone responds “Fission reactors have existed since the 1950s. Take another try?” The first poster ripostes with “Learn to read asshole, I said Fussion [sic]”
Google AI Overview reading "The saying "a dry fish is as good as a wet chicken" is a culinary riddle, not a literal statement about food quality. It's a play on words, suggesting that a dry fish is just as good as a chicken that has been marinated in water (or some other liquid). The humor lies in the juxtaposition of "dry" and "wet" in the context of fish and chicken. It's similar to other riddles that rely on wordplay rather than literal meaning."
