Yes. And no internet.

In the first shot on the pad, I thought “oh, it’s a slightly oversized model rocket” and then when it cut I realized it was quite a bit bigger.

Ah, a kindred spirit. I have been drafting part time for a local firm, and I feel like i’m on the cusp of a brilliant concept for pulling documents together, presenting case status to the lead lawyer … but I don’t have the time to coalesce my inklings into a tool.

I think we technical folk need to build technical tools for us to use while we explore the space and iterate on something that the normies will accept.

If you find anyone willing to invest money so a team can spend time on this, please let me know! :-)

Not only that but: which subsection of law is specific to this case? What additional documentary requirements come with citing that law? What’s the presentation strategy for the target opponent/lawyer/court?

Gemini has insisted on remembering an earlier version of a file even after its own edits.

“We removed that, remember?”

“Yes! I see now …”

Sometimes it circles back to that same detail that no longer exists.

It’s “AI” until it gets another name. It doesn’t get that other name until it’s been in use for a bit and users start understanding its use.

So you’re right that some of these things aren’t AI now. But they were called that at the start of development.

“Dark” as opposed to “enlightened.” It was a dark time for knowledge and education.

I mean, IMO - that’s how I’ve always understood it.

Yes, that's the reason the early Middle Ages are called the Dark Ages (Petrarch is credited with this name), but it is simplistic.

This. It was a retconning of history by "enlightenment" scholars.

If you’re selling shovels to gold miners, you don’t need to demonstrate the shovel - you just need decent marketing to convince people there’s gold in them thar hills.

This is actually a great metaphor and phrasing and I'm filing it away for later btw.

It's a bit more than a metaphor :) during the California gold rush there was this guy named Sam Brannan who sold shovels and other tools to miners, and made a fortune from it (he is often referred to as California's first millionaire). He also had a newspaper at the time, the California Star, which as you can imagine was used to promote the gold rush:

> The excitement and enthusiasm of Gold Washing still continues—increases. (1848)

It’s actually an offbeat take on that common cliche.

Fashionable? I disagree. Acceptable? Hopefully.

People have been stigmatized and isolated for generations for being “different” in some way. Emotional and psychological reasons included. People are all different. We all have different issues. We all have different experiences. No one should be shunned for seeking out others with similarities to get advice and support. And how can you do that without making people aware?

Do we have more mental health issues than in the past? I don’t think so. I think we’re more aware and more accepting than past generations.

I hope this is catching.
