> Unofficial mod lets classic Nintendo GameCube title use AI chatbots with amusing results.
>
> When software engineer Joshua Fonseca recently connected the GameCube simulation classic Animal Crossing to a modern AI language model like the kind that powers ChatGPT, he decided to shake things up. By programming the AI to roleplay as villagers growing aware of their debt situation, and giving them a shared memory to track conversations, Fonseca orchestrated a scenario where the residents began to organize against their raccoon landlord.

Like primal dog howls, the contagious kind?

My dog and my neighbor's dog, when they hear a siren, they start howling. My neighbor's dog is older than mine, and I think he learned it from her because I used to hear her doing it before I even got him. I hear them howling before I hear the siren. Why the heck do they do that?
