🐼 Xi Jinping says two more giant pandas - Ping Ping and Fuchuan - will soon arrive in the US.
This is more than a cute diplomatic gift.
China has used “panda diplomacy” for decades as a symbol of goodwill and cooperation.

While the Aeneid was more popular back then IIRC, Aeneas obviously doesn't get a look in. "Bye, babe, love ya, I'm sailing off to found Rome and also you're on fire now" is some real bullshit.

“The gates of hell are open night and day;
Smooth the descent, and easy is the way:
But to return, and view the cheerful skies,
In this the task and mighty labor lies.”

Kinda like humans might still prefer to have sex with other humans, even if sex toys "feel better".
And there are some cases where LLMs already are competent. E.g. Claude recommended me McGill&Wright translation of Aeneid based on my preferences on Homer: probably the "correct" recommendation
