"Me after the singularity": crane-costumed pilots meme takes off on X

A viral meme reposts a wholesome factoid captioned "me after the singularity": whooping cranes vanished from the eastern US for over a century, so captive-bred chicks had no wild adults to teach migration. Pilots flew open-cockpit ultralights in hooded crane costumes as surrogate parents to re-establish the flyway — a fitting joke about AI caring for humans post-singularity.
