    Still exactly the same. A guy who started an extremist Christian militia dedicated to civil war got killed not long ago.

    The overwhelming response there was that "he must have been killed by innately violent Muslims for trolling them too hard!!!1!"

    100% remains an overstatement- 90% plausibly. But I continue to argue that AI significantly helps me practically with coding, debugging, and learning stuff.




  • Programming quick scripts and replacement for Google/Wikipedia more than anything. I chat to it on an app to ask about various facts or info I wanted to know. And it usually gets in depth pretty quickly.

    Also cooking. I've basically given up on recipe sites, except for niche, specific things. AI gets stuff relatively right and quickly adjusts if I need substitutions. (And again, hands free for my sticky flour fingers).

    And ideation. Whether I'm coming up with names, or a specific word, or clothes, or a joke, I can ask AI for 50 examples and I can usually piece together a result I like from a couple of those.

    Finally, I'll admit I use it as a sounding board to think through topics, when a real human who can empathise would absolutely be better. Sadly, the way modern life is, one isn't always available. It's a small step up from ELIZA.

    The key is that AI is part of the process. Just as I would never say "trust the first Google result with your life", because its some internet rando who might say anything, so too should you not let AI have the final word. I frequently question or correct it, but it still helps the journey.

    I'm not saying the stats are necessarily wrong, but why do the numbers say the US is suddenly using like 300TWH less energy while China is using 2PWH more? Is that true? I think total consumption of energy generation types per capita is also likely a more revealing graph.
