Very cool! Is that a smaller crater inside Prokofiev?

Amazing! Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I do not believe it. It must be a misprint, right?

Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.

There is different health implications connected to microplastics like infertility and cardiovascular diseases, although the connections are not quite understood yet. The amount of microplastics in the human body is very alarming though. A study with brain samples found 0.5w% of plastics, which corresponds to roughly 6g of plastic in a brain. That's a credit card's worth of plastic.

This article should give some overview over different findings and implications:

What is a sprite in this context? As in the red part?

They didn't really get the importance of handwashing before the 1840s as far as I know.

I do not think that is likely because as far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong) these image generations are mostly done on servers which use the cheapest energy mix. But even if they use a 'green' server or run stable diffusion locally and power it by their rooftop solar, the energy for this picture would otherwise have gone to the grid and replaced some fossil energy source. One AI image takes approximately 3Wh of energy (enough to boil ~86 cups of tea). With a gas power plant this produces about 6mg of CO2. That doesn't sound like a lot but it adds up. We really need to reduce emissons wherever we can and this would be an easy place to do so.

It would have been a funny joke without the picture, too. For me the unnecessary energy consumption of making a picture by AI is the more relevant criticism here.
