A lot of animals fail the 'mirror test' which is used for self awareness. But not all animals use vision as a primarily sense.
Would a human pass a 'scent' mirror test? Would we recognize our own chemical reflection?
Without time AND location co-ordinates time travel is a death sentence, since all elements in the universe are in motion lol
The TARDIS avoids this since it takes account of location.
Pretty compelling Text-to-3D. Prompt was "modern purple sofa". Generated in 14 secs (with 3 others) and the GLB imports into Blender in another 5 seconds.

The Lattice Toucan was the first image produced for Imaginary Ornithology. It was a publicly funded art project; members of the public provided the briefs, I created the art, and sound engineer Peter Mcilwain generated their calls.
Baby birrin and the anatomy of their eggs.
Their eggs have protein caps which are exchanged several times during development.
Color changes let attending birrin know the status of the embryo and when a new cap is needed.
Spectacular mass of juvenile striped eel catfish appearing like one giant animal,
A daunting sight for predators, in this undulating dense entity,the vulnerable protect each other until each is mature and independent
I remember character design how-tos say that you should be able to read a characters' intent, villainy or heroism at first glance.
I can't see any negative consequences from this sort of thinking at all.
AI could have been a great tool for artists. I have used it for idea brainstorming and it was amazing.
But they built it all on theft. It didn't have to be that way.
Sacred Chattertails, and some of the crop pests they help control on birrin farms. Their usefulness has made harming them taboo in the valley of Two Sky River.
I am asking people on AI discords why AI is needed.
Interestingly, one response seems to be jealously or even anger that artists earned a skill others don't have:
The Avatar universe DID actually give us a non humanoid fully sapient alien people, which is cool. Also, the idea of a planet with more than one intercommunicating sapient species is interesting to me (obviously).
Im bored so let's do something artists,
What is a drawing you think you're iconic for? and let people reply to you what drawing they think you are iconic for
The pseudoraptor: a predator standing 4 foot tall at the shoulder.
Distantly related to the birrin, 4 of its 6 limbs have evolved into clawed weapons, and it can run bipedally at great speed.
Small flyers follow them and help locate prey for for a share of the kill.
The blue whale, at up to 29.9 metres (98 ft) in length and with a maximum recorded weight of 173 tons, it is the largest animal known to have ever existed.
This picture, part of a footage captured in California, gives the scale of a blue whale
Time for some Giants!
They have an intelligence somewhere between a corvid and a human.
They have a long and complicated history with the birrin, though along Two-Sky River they tend to offer their massive strength in exchange for medicine and spices.

I have always loved worlds within worlds: rockpools and internally complex things. A closed natural biosphere was something I was eagre to explore.
Birrin climbing First Mountain, the tallest peak on the planet and one of the few that still has snow. It is located on the equator above the searing Kiln desert.

They were built as tombs for members of the royal family, developed through many years of experimentation with funerary mounds and stepped pyramids, perfected at Cheops, than largely abandoned for more modern tomb designs.
