Researchers are now taking a closer look at AIβs ability to generate humor and how that can be improved. Does #AI get the joke? https://cacm.acm.org/news/does-ai-get-the-joke/ #TechNews

Gamefinds: Trees Hate You
Another one, so soon! I feel like I should post these as I find out about them, or else they'll fade in memory, and in importance. I want to get them out to you immediately, while the bytes are hot.
Yet also, with this one, I sort of want you to discover what it's about, the promise of that title, Trees Hate You, for yourself. That's not how thes

Maybe it means one must be high on spirits during the crime ...
... or the crimes were committed while high?
If Drumpf had a son he would look like Afroman ...
... because he got high.
Drumpf + Afroman = High Crimes and Misdemeanours.

OCTADE or OCTAD is a retro word that means either an octal digit of three bits, or an octal octet or an eight-bit byte. Thus an octade, depending on its historical use, is either 3 bits or 8 bits.
OCTADE was used to specify eight bits, as opposed to BYTE which is not necessarily eight bits as the word BYTE could signify any of several numbers of bits.
This yields the retro 1337 numbers of 38 and 83. The number 38 is one more than 37 so a bit more elite a bit cooler. Thus it owns cardinally shorter byterz.
83 mod 38 equals 7, the highest octal digit. 838 mod 383 equals 72 or 9 times 8 which is 8 squared plus 8.
8338 mod 3883 equals 572 which is 72 times 8 minus 4 or 71.5 times 8.
8383 mod 3838 equals 707 which is 88 times 8 plus 3.
I prefer the old word OCTADE to the word BYTE. OCTADE sports a Euro-peon dignity and gravitas like an Internet serf ready to surf the worknet like pwnd peons. This is very true when pronouncing OCTADE with a thick Pennsyltucky Dutch or Yinzer accent. The Bostonian pronunciation sounds like bad beginner German or muffled mumbling of 'lactate.'
OCTADE or OCTAD was also used to describe a poem of eight stanzas.
OCTADE was also used to describe a period of eight years, or two leap years.
OCTADECANAL is a pheromone found in butterflies. It is butterfly perfume. I would not wear butterfly cologne. But I would sell it. Who would buy and wear my snobby smell? With wordplay we can call it OCTADE CHANNEL No. 8 . All rights reserved, ye French odor snooties.

What's your favourite trilogy? π€
Every speculative fiction reader has that one trilogy they can't get over...
For me it's between The Seagulls and Lord of the Rings, Star Wars barely breaks the top 50 ππ
