Now I’m spending all day operating my own collectible toy car store though. That by itself would probably be enough to get me but not only does your store stock blind boxes of various levels full of random toy cars (along with track and other accessories), but these cars all have stats and can be raced against customers on slot car style tracks! Here's the kicker, you can open these boxes yourself and collect the cars! After a day of playing I now have two employees who manage the cash registers all day while I sit in the corner and open blind boxes to fill out my supercar collection. </p> <p><br />-Gabe Out</p> <p> </p> </section> </div> </article> <article class="content"> <div class="avatar"> <div class="border"> <img src="https://assets.penny-arcade.com/img/avatars/avatar-tycho-frightening.jpg" srcset="https://assets.penny-arcade.com/img/avatars/avatar-tycho-frightening.jpg 1x,https://assets.penny-arcade.com/img/avatars/avatar-tycho-frightening@2x.jpg 2x" width="100" alt=""> </div> </div> <header><h2><a href="/news/post/2025/04/16/dauphin">Dauphin</a></h2></header> <footer> <p class="details author">By Tycho – April 16, 2025</p> <ul class="tags"> <li><a href="/archive/search?tag=2355">Ecco the Dolphin</a></li> <li><a href="/archive/search?tag=201">Google</a></li> <li><a href="/archive/search?tag=2882">Merlin Bird ID</a></li> <li><a href="/archive/search?tag=3156">Google AI</a></li> </ul> </footer> <div class="post-body"> <section class="post-text"> <p>Apparently, Groogle is using one of their abominable intelligences to <a href="https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/04/google-created-a-new-ai-model-for-talking-to-dolphins/">communicate with dolphins</a>, presumably to steal their IP.
