Correct! From the site https://bjoernkarmann.dk/project/paragraphica
“ The star-nosed mole, which lives and hunts underground, finds light useless. Consequently, it has evolved to perceive the world through its finger-like antennae, granting it an unusual and intelligent way of "seeing." This amazing animal became the perfect metaphor and inspiration for how empathizing with other intelligences and the way they perceive the world can be nearly impossible to imagine from a human perspective.”

Nope, that is “Celebrity What-Ifs” on the Midjourney Reddit…
The source linked from the tweet is https://bjoernkarmann.dk/project/paragraphica, but it seems to be not responding.

It feeds noise into Google Home/Alexa until your custom keyword is spoken. It's also open source.
