I'd genuinely like a black bar for this- cross-species respect.

An important comma

Otherwise we would be unaware thay Ai the chimpanzee counted and painted dies. I wonder what happened at her 49th birthday to spur that hobby.

Impossible to not make a joke about this being just more ai news on the front page.

Apparently, since the majority of top level comments right now - about 6 at the time of my comment - are making basically the same joke.

I thought this place was supposed to be better than reddit in such ways. Do better, HN.

49 years enslaved in a laboratory, forced to learn tricks, likely deprived of food and comfort until she played along. No clue why Jane Goodall embraced such cruelty. Showing how intelligent non-human animals are, then forcing them to endure such inhumane treatment is par the course for 'scientists'.
