Fresh of the "success" of the Tesla Cybertruck Elon Musk decided that now was a great time to introduce AI into X. The product was Grok. It didn't go well.
Domesticated Foxes!
A couple days ago an article appeared on the BBC website about archaeological finds from South America which showed an extinct species of fox buried with human remains. Cool! But the article was very misleading, in that it seems to imply that foxes were domesticated before dogs. Here's the lead: 'Our ancestors may have kept foxes as pets long before domestic dogs came on the scene.'
Another article in the Daily Mail implies the same thing, that early man's 'best friend was the fox'. The problem is neither article states, at least in the headline, where 'early' man, or 'our ancestors' were from and how old 'early' is. The burial is from 1500 years ago. Dogs were domesticated tens of thousands, if not more, years before that. Of course, in that region of South America (Patagonia), foxes seem to have been domesticated before the arrival (to that area) of domesticated dogs, but, neither article says that.

That's how old I am today.
Sixty-five years ago I didn't think I was gonna make it here.
I was already making calculations of my age at the distant twenty-first century mark if I made that milestone.
That seemed like a long way to go back then.
