Twitter post from Moonlit Sentences Arizona DOT installed a wildlife camera at Route 87's pedestrian crossing outside Payson last September. Standard deer migration count. After six months, they had footage of zero deer and 147 clips of the same coyote pressing the crosswalk button with its paw at sunrise. The animal waits for the walk signal. Steps into the road. Crosses at a trot. Every single time. Biologists believe it learned by watching hikers at the adjacent trailhead. "It's not random," said the lead researcher. "That coyote understands cause and effect better than half our interns." DOT voted unanimously to keep the camera running. The coyote hasn't jaywalked once.

I always get a kick out of people getting frustrated when they SHOW AN AI SOMETHING and then ask if it's "real."

Ai: "Of course its, 'real.' Bitch, you just showed it to me."

Stunning amount of hammer hate coming from people who aim for their thumbs.
