10 years ago I'd say this was a bombshell, and the results of what was released could have unprecedented effects on our election.

But now a days? Meh. I mean, half the people in the country have read 10000 horrific stories about Trump already, and the other half believe there's a group of baby-eating satanists running the world, so I can't imagine either group really bring too surprised at any announced leaks. I dunno, I guess I still hear about these supposed undecided voters, even if I can't comprehend how they still exist. Maybe this will change 12 of their minds, or whatever.

I love the ability to keep a perfect history of my communication, which IM/slack/email gives you, but if you have a complex issue to solve that requires the input of multiple people, face to face conversation can get to the bottom of the issue many times faster than back and forth messing. Not only can you speak quicker than you can type, but you can convey additional information in tone of voice and facial expression.

And I hate to praise AI for anything, but it's not half bad at given you a written summary of what was talked about.

I say all this as someone who really doesn't enjoy talking to people face to face, and would much rather just send messages.

I really like the safety aspect of this, but 72% capacity after 300 cycles seems low. What's a use case scenario where this is preferable over lipo batteries?

Imagine an AI llm combined with an OS file search. Like "two years ago I was playing Skyrim and I installed a lot of mods, and I think one of them turned all the dragons into Kirby. Where was the installer for that mod?"

And then your computer is like "I gotcha bro, here's the installer right here."

That'd be pretty cool. But then again it'd probably also go "I'll go ahead and install it for you. And hey, while I'm at it I know you're gonna love this ad tracking program that paid M$ a few million dollars for your info, so Imma install that too. If you'd rather not install it, feel free to find your files and run the installer yourself"

I think the Dems often want to minimize the hurt put on the American people. If they caved and helped establish a new speaker, they could do things like avoid another government shutdown. But while I know it would hurt Americans and I don't want that to happen, I think it might be for the best in the long term if the Dems refuse to help out, and let the Repubs flounder for as long as it takes them to get on the same team, to show America that the GOP is fucking broken.

Lol, some of them don't have a lot of money because he owes them money he'll never pay them.

Wow, the federalist society has turned on him? Maybe that's not new, but it sure is crazy how much conservatives with power regret using him.

Yeah but why don't Lemmy instances use "reddit.com" as their URL? We may never figure this stuff out 😞
