we have a winner for the most absurd AI startup ever
this Peter Thiel backed company uses AI robots to stab fish in the brain so they taste better and last up to 3x longer
it's called Shinkei and it modernizes a centuries-old Japanese technique
dozens of Michelin-star restaurants are already lining up to buy the fish
here's how it works:
> the problem is when a fish gets caught, it usually just suffocates on the boat
> that stress floods the meat with hormones and lactic acid, which hurts the flavor and texture
> the old Japanese fix for this was spiking the fish through the brain right after the catch, which stops all that
> but doing it by hand is impractical for most American fishing crews
> so Shinkei built a fridge-sized robot that sits right on the boat's deck
> the crew feeds in a fish and AI identifies the exact species, so it knows exactly where the brain and gills are
> the robot then drives the spike through the brain and cuts near the gills in about 7 seconds
> the fish goes into an ice slurry so the blood drains out
> so the fish doesn't sit there stressing out, and that tasty flavor and texture is preserved
example number 5,392,417 of how AI can be applied to literally anything

Yes I'm a knowledge worker. That's why I scroll Twitter. Where do you think the knowledge comes from.

If you have the type of ADHD that gives you insane mental hyperactivity boredom will literally kill you. If you are depressed and fit this description you need to go out and get 100x as busy starting today

I meditated a lot in my mid 20s to reduce tanha/dukhha, but now I'm really into them. I like grasping & craving, taking things personally, waking up tortured with what I want to do and probably can't pull off, and thinking it'll just feel so great if I get one more thing

Scaling back housing a block from a major rail station is a terrible idea. We need so much more housing, particularly near transit. This continual pressure to scale back housing is a key reason why we have such a deep housing shortage.

Pride is San Francisco at its best. As queer and trans people face profound threats and our existence is increasingly made into a political football, we come together in protest and in celebration to support our diversity and our beauty. That love is what makes our country strong and what fuels me to fight day and night for our community. Happy Pride!
