@eigenrobot Bees are just flying ants.https://t.co/ehSP6Bh8RW

Training ants to detect food chemistry + allergens(?) in only 30 minutes? Not sure if its possible for all scent types, but this idea is promising.I bet we could mostly automate this with food droppers and piezo transducers (guitar pickup) and an Arduino. https://t.co/aiYO552RI8

@eigenrobot A fool and his master: perverse incentives of economic disruption. A force for creative destruction I've ever seen. Ripe fruit turns to decay as it falls and rots.My what a strange attractor.https://t.co/TdlSimrlKY

You can turn a drone into a mosquito by sticking a literal moth antennae to it to act as a biosensor.https://t.co/mAeioqqZvr

We are stuck in a strange attractor, machinations too big for any one brain to see.https://t.co/aJZOMjDa6D

@eigenrobot If you wanna investigate CV tech that might spot landmines, look into the one that can spot disturbed ground that is being use to find makeshift graves.
