Case would seem to do that just fine too. Especially in the case of battery packs considering how inefficient wireless charging is.

I genuinely don’t understand how this is a feature that anyone even needs. I can see the convenience of wireless charging even though I don’t personallt need that either but the magnetic part of it doesn’t add any apparent value to me.

This is the feature that ChatGPT lacked that made me switch to Grok for a while which didn’t seem to have any of these restrictions. I switched back though as ChatGPT just seems to perform much better overall. And it’s cheaper.

Then explain why you disagree instead of coming at them with ad-hominem.

It’s worth remembering that every major technological shift has gone through a speculative boom that looked like a scam in the moment. The dot-com bubble didn’t mean the internet was a fraud - it just meant people overestimated how quickly its impact would pay off. The same was true for the housing market after the subprime crash: people still need places to live. What’s happening with AI now feels similar. There’s definitely hype and inflated valuations, but that doesn’t mean the underlying technology will vanish once the bubble bursts. The noise will fade, and what’s genuinely useful will become infrastructure - quietly integrated into everyday life, just like the internet did.

“ai could do x one day” is speculation at best

AI can do, and has done X already. That’s my point.

So, guilt by association. By that same logic, every Lemmy user must be a Marxist-Leninist.

Basically, the only way to truly “lose it all” in a market crash is if you’re all-in on a company that goes under - or if you actually own that company. Most investors don’t really lose anything. Their portfolio value drops for a while, but if they can wait it out, it usually recovers within a year or so.

When you hear about people losing their savings in a market crash, it’s usually because they panic-sold at a loss. Even then, they don’t lose everything - just a portion. People like me, who invest for the long term and mostly in highly diversified index funds, are more or less unaffected. We’re not planning to sell for decades anyway. If anything, we’ll just buy more for a discount.

Not that I’m rich or anything but the point is that rich people generally aren’t stupid when it comes to finances - otherwise they wouldn’t be rich. It’s the people who don’t know better who take the hit.

Lemmy is a perfect example of the often unspoken side of propaganda: when you’re surrounded by people who all seem to share the same opinion, you’re far less likely to speak up if you disagree. In extreme cases, this leads to situations where the majority actually disagrees but stays silent, falsely assuming they’re in the minority. That’s how a vocal minority ends up controlling the silent majority - and it’s exactly why authoritarian governments try to silence the media. This is why freedom of speech and a free press are so important, and why silencing dissenting voices, even with good intentions, ends up mimicking the tactics of authoritarian regimes.

CRISPR is the tool that lets us precisely edit genes in DNA, which contain the instructions for making proteins. AlphaFold is the AI tool that helped us understand what those edits actually do. It’s the 3D shape of the protein that determines its function - without understanding protein folding, gene editing would be like changing code in a language you don’t fully understand and just hoping it works.

DeepMind’s AlphaFold solved the decades-old protein folding problem, and its results are already being used in drug and vaccine development.

I make three claims and your response only fits one of them.

It says AI in the title.

No it doesn’t.

That’s all information they need.

No it doesn’t.

Most people on social media don’t think - they react.

No it doesn’t.

AI-powered

Yes it does.

Exactly. I buy highly diversified index funds for a reason.
