Lovely city, terrible people, as they say.

Um, actually clueless people have made "that's not real AI" and "but computers will never ..." complaints about AI as long as it has existed as a computing science topic. (50 years?)

Chatbots and image generators being in the headlines has made a new loud wave of complainers, but they've always been around.

With a large adult section in the back!

Almost every sentence. But funny self review and other things aside, main problems:

"Watts... Contains." Is a fundamental confusion on what a watt is. It's like asking how much fast there is in a box.

The answer has a good basic idea, but also a total comprehension failure not just pulling the numbers out of thin air, but badly describing an equation with watts on one side and watt hours on another. The answer is both ignoring realities and getting the hypotheticals wrong. Sounds expertish but is both wrong and useless.

When they could have just said "yes, you could use a suitable inverter with a suitable battery and a fridge in some cases, but the math and actual connections would be more complicated than that explanation" or something like that.

Something towards the parody horizon.

Not really particularly ridiculous. It's exactly the kind of evil it was designed for. Just a broader application than advertised.

If you can use a spare box or at least a boot device, there are systems like https://batocera.org/ that will box a lot of stuff together. Obviously independent emulators are all distributed independently though many of them do multiple systems.

If they didn't make it clear that brave is a series scam company, deservedly.

Better share the love while you can.

I have, but it was one of the very old bananas. Should dig out out sometime.

Not optical disks, though. Especially burnables. They have a shelf life. Make sure to replicate the data in time.
