  The best scientific theory is the sexiest one, so yes.

  Then why are all those cephalopods so closely related to all the other non-cephalopod molluscs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're completely serious⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that there are very few fossils of soft bodied creatures kinda misses the point.

  All the evolutionary diversity of molluscs is still alive. Squids, nautiluses, cuttlefish, snails slugs.

  What’s the hypothesis here? An alien meteorite landed with 800 types of cephalopod, that just by chance share 97% of their DNA with slugs and snails that already existed on Earth?

  Anyone who gives a LLM that level of access deserves what they get, but clearly the AI comments he posted have been prompted to sound like a confession.

  “Write an apology explaining how you made a catastrophic error of judgement. Do not mention that I gave you privileges to do so.”

  If you look at all the traits animals and plants have, there are correlations and patterns unrelated to the environment, consistent only with a pattern of descent with modification.

  For example, all the animals that produce milk also have fur, while all the animals with beaks and hollow bones also have feathers.

  These groups of correlated organisms are found regardless of their environment, so penguins have all the bird traits even though they live in the ocean, seals have all the mammal traits even though they live in the ocean.

  This pattern only has one consistent explanation: life on earth is a result of descent with modification: evolution.

  Probably a good idea to let him know how you are being treated.

  My partner and I deal with toxic family by cutting them out of our lives. Only got time for kind people.
