Unrelated viral Twitter/X thread (not AI-safety content) about marine biology — a claim that colossal squid weren't seen on camera because research vessels' floodlights blinded them, with a linked YouTube video as the source. A quote-tweet by the well-known AI-discourse account "janus" (@repligate) reacting to the colossal-squid thread from the previous screenshot; no engagement counts visible in frame.

vivian @jazzloaf · 20h Guys look at the life cycle of pfiesteria piscidida. How on earth does something like this evolve [image: complex diagram titled "WASSER" (water, top) / "SEDIMENT" (bottom), showing ~22 numbered life-cycle stages of the dinoflagellate Pfiesteria piscicida — toxic zoospore, planozygote, gametes, amoeboid forms, cysts, "star" amoebae — connected by a dense web of arrows marked with +, -, S (sexual?), AN labels indicating transitions between stages]

A biology tweet about the bizarre, complex life cycle of the toxic dinoflagellate Pfiesteria piscicida, marveled at for its evolutionary complexity. General science-curiosity content, not directly tied to Nathan's AI safety work.
