Ep. 1. What The Tech?! AI-Tarzan
Monkeys May Finally Spill the Banana Tea.
Welcome to What the Tech?!, your weekly serving of jaw-dropping moments from Digital Anthology.
So buckle up every Friday, power up your logic circuits, and prepare to ask yourself:
“Who approved this? And... can I try it?”
Somewhere in probably a lab, a bunch of very serious scientists are teaching AI how to speak animal.
Enter NatureLM, the large language model trained not on tweets, but actual bird tweets. This AI doesn’t want to autocomplete your emails, it wants to translate what animals are really saying.
We're talking about the possibility of deciphering the dolphin's love songs, decoding elephant rumbles, and maybe, just maybe, figuring out what your dog is really barking at 3 a.m. (Spoiler: it's ghosts. Always ghosts.)
This isn’t science fiction. It’s science... friction between humans and the animal kingdom.
“Why it matters: Understanding what animals are saying could not only aid human knowledge of our world, but advocates say it might also provide a compelling case for giving animals broader legal rights.“
