You guessed it- we’re working with Makeship to design and produce the Eggbug Plush! There’s just one step first: get 200 petitions to greenlight the project and start production!

so what does this mean for you, fellow eggbug enthusiasts?

• This petition will run for 7 days (10/10-10/17 at 10am PST)
• Pledges are $2 and are a fully refundable deposit toward the final plush, which will cost $29.99
• Once we reach 200 pledges, the design process will begin immediately and the plush will launch within 90 days!
• You don’t have to pledge now to buy a plush later- but the sooner we hit 200 pledges the sooner you can have your hands on our favorite little guy (now in 3D!)

PLEDGE YOUR LOVE FOR EGGBUG HERE!

there's a paper on the arxiv [1] that discusses detecting ai-generated research papers through so called “tortured phrases”; that is, phrases which resemble standard field-specific jargon, but seemingly mangled by a thesaurus.

they built a set of these tortured phrases (the table above) and searched the literature. and found. so many examples.

anyway.
