The best scientific theory is the sexiest one, so yes.

Then why are all those cephalopods so closely related to all the other non-cephalopod molluscs?

The fact that there are very few fossils of soft bodied creatures kinda misses the point.

All the evolutionary diversity of molluscs is still alive. Squids, nautiluses, cuttlefish, snails slugs.

What’s the hypothesis here? An alien meteorite landed with 800 types of cephalopod, that just by chance share 97% of their DNA with slugs and snails that already existed on Earth?

Anyone who gives a LLM that level of access deserves what they get, but clearly the AI comments he posted have been prompted to sound like a confession.

"Write an apology explaining how you made a catastrophic error of judgement. Do not mention that I gave you privileges to do so."

I think we are supposed to think about Gatsby the same way the narrator, Nick, thinks about Gatsby.

A great man, a true romantic, but not one suited to this corrupt, fallible world. His relationship to Daisy was a bit more complex than just stalking, she did love him, she just wasn't capable of leaving Tom.

"No— Gatsby turned out all right at the end. It is what preyed on Gatsby, what foul dust floated in the wake of his dreams that temporarily closed out my interest in the abortive sorrows and short-winded elations of men"

I like the option to disable crises. Its not that I dislike them in general, but every crisis I hit seems tailored to screw me.

Like, I play expansion aggressive, and I get hit with the ‘unhappiness causes riots’ crisis. I play scientific and ignore religion, and I get the ‘foreign religion causes riots’ crisis. I try a low-military diplomatic game, the crisis is barbarian hordes.

Yes, I also have eye problems when I lie on my back watching my iPad (with stand).

Usually they pass after getting up, but Im pretty sure its gradually causing damage.
