I'm a tad surprised that Large LANGUAGE Models went mainstream ~2 years ago and we don't have a Universal Translator yet. Would like to hear educated/expert reasons for that, perhaps it's something I don't understand.

Um, FRINGE fans, you might want to start watching #Severance

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

‘Severance’ Surpasses ‘Ted Lasso’ To Become Apple TV+’s Most Watched Series With Season 2 Launch (Please, proceed to enjoy both TV shows equally) deadline.com/2025/02/seve...

Timeline cleanser, something to cheer you up

The Last of Us Season 2 premieres April 13th

#Avowed looks good

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (Steam) is $40.79 on GMG https://buff.ly/41jbcO7 #ad

Using Deep Research as intended:

Good news everyone www.surrey.ac.uk/news/physici...

Severance x The Office crossover would be fun.

Deep Research needs a DILLIGAFF mode when upon query it does not ask any further questions.

Going with the nerd classics:

This is Wesley. He wants to know if you will accept this rose. Because he grabbed it thinking it was a stick, and now doesn't want it anymore. 12/10
