    “Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat a machine learning algorithm.” - traditional Native American saying.

    I’ve always thought of ML-based logic as fuzzy as the outcome is somewhat uncertain

        I’ve had 3 and they were all as trainable as a cat. Ran to me when I called their names, used the litter box, and knew the command “periscope”

        One of them knew “spin” and “kisses,” too

          That’s fricken adorable. I have 3 right now and they ignore about 12 different commands.

            Not to say I didn’t like the others but I ADORED the one that knew commands. They were all rescues but the other two were neglected and had health problems so it took awhile for them to warm up to me and they didn’t live as long. The very trained one was with me for 12 years and followed me everywhere. She’d come running when I got home from work to meet me at the door, too.

              That’s sweet. I’ve got 2 farm rescues that I “acquired” in a marriage, and 1 shelter rescue. Poor shelter bun had been there for 2 years.

              Unfortunately, I can’t free-roam the bunnies. I’m actually allergic to them, so they have to be contained in a room to reduce dander in the house, but they have big x-pens instead of cages, and we let them out one at a time for about a half hour each night.

                I don’t mean this condescendingly, but maybe that’s why they’re harder to train! Mine were completely free range except for one room they weren’t in alone and another they were never allowed in (didn’t want to rabbit proof)

                Here’s two of em. The white one was my darling. She was the lop’s protector because he was a sick little guy

                  That’s a fair assessment. I can’t be around the bunnies all the time to train them. I’d send picture of my buns, but my partner has asked me to keep them off socials. They are two big red New Zealand mixes, and the third bun is a New Zealand/Flemish mix.

    Rabbits engage in coprophagy to extract more nutrients using their short digestive tracts. Is this analogous to training ML models on AI-generated output?

    A machine learning algorithm can be a cute fuzzy baby to depending on the pic you assign as their icon.
