Bakers Beach   ·
  · It is not unlike sitting in various spots at Davies Symphony Hall, this old City, come to think of it.

Each corner or curve of us allows a tone, a song

This outline of our City in concert with itself

The melody at Bakers Beach is foreign to the heavy chorus of what we hear at Judah and La Playa. Or, for that matter, Front and Sac

The melody lingers on. The chorus of course will always be there

Long after we are gone

Lion costs leading AI company half a million after risky experiment. In Africa, researchers pushed the limits of AI by sending their prototype robot face to in face with a lion.

Before the trial, the machine had been prepped with hundreds of animal images and books on emotions. It could identify joy, sadness, anger, and fear. On paper, it was flawless. But the moment the lion appeared, the system broke down. The logs showed only:

“Cat big. Scared.”

Then it glitched, repeating “scared” more than 100 times until it froze completely. Memory wipes didn’t help. The fear was buried so deep that every time the robot saw a four legged creature, from a goat to a house cat, it responded the same way: “No. Scared.”

Engineers eventually had to tear out part of its CPU, a fix that cost the company half a million dollars and nearly eight months of work. The experiment ended with the first robot in history diagnosed with PTSD. #animals #wholesome

 

San Francisco, for all of its problems, is still the most beautiful city in America.

In an extraordinary act of compassion, an aquarium manager built a tiny underwater “wheelchair” for a goldfish unable to swim upright.

Using zip ties, tubing, and small pieces of Styrofoam for buoyancy, he created a supportive device that allowed the goldfish to float normally and move around again.

This story touched millions online, showing how innovation and empathy can change lives—even for the smallest creatures.

Goldfish with swim bladder disease often lose control over their buoyancy, causing them to sink or float uncontrollably. In most cases, such fish cannot survive long, but this inventive solution gave the goldfish a second chance at life. Videos of the fish swimming with its custom device quickly went viral, sparking admiration worldwide.

This simple invention also highlights broader possibilities in animal rehabilitation. With creativity and care, even low-cost solutions can improve animal welfare. It reminds us that technology does not have to be complex to make a meaningful impact—it only needs compassion and ingenuity.
