Nice, looks tasty!

Or Industrial waste like in France around 2012?

And on Banggi, a Malaysian island, there is supposedly green honey!

In NYC, they found red honey which was coming from bees drinking at a maraschino cherry factory:

The New Yorker article about it also has some additional details: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/04/23/the-maraschino...

I stopped watching the video when the first ships approached Old London Bridge, which were clearly too tall to pass through, and fortunately the camera angle changed before I had to witness the AI shipwreck.

Of course, the substrate being researched back then is different from human wetware.


That reminds me of how the manufacturer's customer service department for my car some thirty years ago tried to convince me that the problems with the ignition electronics could also be caused by solar flares. Which could have been the case, of course, but then it would surely have affected other vehicle owners as well. Though, maybe the sun did shine just for me back then, you can never be sure, can't you. I briefly considered consulting an astronomer.


There was a funny story about how sun shining on a UV sensitive electronic component was the root cause of a mysterious failure that was time and day dependent.

That may be the case, but I can't personally confirm it. On the other hand, I have never felt a particular need. There were some or not. They come and they go. It probably also depends on what you want to understand by the term friend.



And in Cixin Liu’s short story "Devourer" they even come back to earth for a last visit...

Of course, this has a back-story/history, see "Of Ants and Dinosaurs".


I asked ChatGPT o1-preview with cutt-off October 2023 and it was not enthusiastic about the idea and said medicine would be closer.

ChatGPT 40 wasn't keen about it either.

Perplexity.ai told me it is what it is, it's a great idea and it's fine with it.
