The GIFs were pulled from old GeoCities webpages, which (mostly) bit the dust in 2009. The new version of GifCities is much easier to search. You can now search semantically, based on the animation's content. In other words, it's much more likely to bring up the topic or scene you're looking for by describing it.

Frontier AI Models Are Getting Stumped by a Simple Children's Game

Earlier this week, researchers at Apple released a damning paper, criticizing the AI industry for vastly overstating the ability of its top AI models to reason or "think." The team found that the models including OpenAI's o3, Anthropic's Claude 3.7, and Google's Gemini were stumped by even the simplest of puzzles.

Scientists Just Solved a 14,000-Year-Old Puppy Mystery

In 2011 and 2015, two approximately 14,000-year-old pups were pulled from northern Siberia’s permafrost roughly 25 miles (40 kilometers) from the village of Tumat. Within the same layers of icy soil, researchers found woolly mammoth bones with evidence of human processing. This led some to wonder whether the “Tumat Puppies” may have been tamed wolves or even early dogs waiting around for scraps at a prehistoric butchering site.
