It’s the usual business mindset.

Businesses never have the budget to, say, maintain their fleet of cars properly. But they have ten times the money to replace cars that broke down.

The answer is obvious: the American people should go to the polls and vote “HELL NO!” with the weapon of their choice.

the political ramifications matter significantly

Can your obsessive worry change the outcome in any meaningful way? No? Then your obsessive worry is damaging both to you and to those you inflict it upon. This is doubly so when you inflict it on an international audience who doesn’t even access to the horse and pony show Americans call an election.

Even if AI turns out to be a hype cycle, getting a lot of clean energy could make it worth the hassle.

It won’t.

Want to get to clean energy? Get a government with the guts to tell oil companies and car companies to get fucked.

And while they’re at it they can tell the purveyors of Grand Theft Autocorrect to get fucked as well.

Kennedy now. Should probably add Thiel in there too; he doesn’t show up in news often, but when he does it’s a horror that makes Apartheid Manchild look small-time.

Hah! It’s adorable that you think it will ever stop! The next set of congressional midterms is only two years away. They’re already ramping up the rhetoric for those!

Perplexity is a front-end to several Grand Theft Autocorrect engines and it primes itself with searches as well, it seems, to the point of linking what it says to search results, but it seems also to have VERY narrow blinders in its processing so that you can ask for something that is flatly impossible and it will not notice it.

I asked for a holiday in Jasper. And it seems to have laser-focused on just that without any general information on Jasper so it missed information it potentially had at hand to build me a (decent, even!) suggested holiday. And the evidence that it has the information potentially at hand is just mentioning the Jasper fire suddenly changes its tune correctly.
