Yeah, but that's unavoidable. Whereas, Tesla and Waymo, etc getting to use our roads for self-driving testing is just our government not doing their job to protect the roads adequately, IMHO. This is veering way off topic, but I just recently watched a video that had stats on Teslas and the fact they're like 8.2x more likely to be in a crash than a standard level 2 car driving system.

Honestly, a search engine companion is probably its least offensive case, you're correct. Mostly, it makes me so mad because they are polluting our entire collected knowledge base, because there is no way to watermark anything as AI-generated (especially when it's text, not images) which means that every search you make from here on out returns worse results. It's like being forced to share the road with self-driving Teslas because the self-driving car companies (especially Tesla) have made us all involuntarily part of their beta test.
The "screw everyone else trying to use the same public resource" mentality is out of control.
I would fucking rather pay not to have AI in my browser, FFS…
My guess is because this is what they look like when they're blinking or asleep? It's transparent, so probably basically looks the same as open eyes and the model probably doesn't have any closed opaque eyelids to reference as a result. (Although you are correct the AI seems to be getting sassy with you in this image, lol.)
Frogs have three eyelids: an upper eyelid that blinks to keep their eyes moist, a lower eyelid that stays still, and a third semi-transparent eyelid called the nictitating membrane. The nictitating membrane is used for swimming, camouflage, hibernation, and sleeping.1 It is a thin, transparent eyelid that protects frogs' large, fragile eyes, making their eyes waterproof and keeping them safe from debris.
I feel like it is very unlikely it was Eweka if all the files were incomplete/corrupted? They very rarely are with that service. Stuff that is like 6 or 8 years old comes down fine from there quite frequently.
I will say that if the show you are looking for is by a large enough company, they may have hired a takedown service that will delete just enough files to cause the entire thing to be corrupt depending on the newsgroup provider. Mainstream usenet service providers get hit the worst. If it’s something you really want to see, you may only have a few hours to DL it before it is corrupted in that case.
