Asked it the following to test it:

What caused the cooling at the end of the cenezoic that lead to the glacial quarternary period?

Took a while, actively showed the source articles it was looking into while it was processing which were clickable. Here's a pdf of the response which is long, and well referenced, pretty interesting IMO, but here's the initial overview:

The cooling at the end of the Cenozoic Era — which culminated in the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary Period — is one of Earth's most profound climate transitions. This was not a single event but a stepwise process driven by interconnected mechanisms operating over tens of millions of years. The primary cause was a long-term decline in atmospheric CO₂ (pCO₂), driven fundamentally by plate tectonic processes that altered the global carbon cycle. Oceanic gateway openings and orbital variations played important modulating roles.

Which my partner, whose taken some climate classes in college, said sounds right. If anyone thinks this is wrong please feel free to call it out.

Scibot!

Retrieval augmented generation

is way easier to search then:

a script that runs a search and then the LLM takes the output of that and reformats it into an answer.

So if people want to look into it further and research what it is, instead of taking some persons 1 sentence explanation, they can.

Ironically trying to search for that phrase would work better in a RAG then a standard key word search.

Texas school sent waiver for parents to allow kids to be coached by sex offender

Houston Astros prospect

Because he's good at baseball...

It's been shown over and over again that parents and administrators will turn a blind eye to shit like this if it means their kid has a chance at the big leagues

California Billionaire Tax Has Enough Signatures to Land on Ballot, Backers Say

Good sign, but still think this will end up like the rent control proposition on the last election. Get ready for non stop fear mongering ads on TV on how this will destroy the economy.

World on Track to Have Almost 4,000 Billionaires Within Next Five Years

The SRs did help to organize the country side and rally them for the revolution, but the peasants weren't rallying because of there assassinations, they were joining because of there promise to expropriate the rich landlords and redistribute the land to the peasants. If another party came along promising land redistribution, but without the history of assassinations, the peasents would join it just as enthusiastically. As seen with Makhno and the anarchists.

Anon is alone

I feel like incels in general have a "no true scotsman" mentality. They always think that they are uniquely unlovable, as it absolves them of any responsibility to improve. Meanwhile the other incels are faking it because there problems are solvable if they were to just get over themselves. They can't apply that same logic to themselves as it would put themselves at fault for there own misery.

Trump Cancels Kushner-Witkoff Trip as Iran Suggests US Not 'Truly Serious About Diplomacy'

But he's sending his best son and a real estate mogul to demand Iran capitulate on all his points. Why do they think he's not serious?

Idk if this is sarcasm but you clearly don't know the FBI if you think they'd be discouraging assassinations. They'd track your IP and gas you up as much as they could to build incriminating evidence to show that they caught a dangerous left wing terrorist.

The main cause for the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 was the governments failure to handle the war. No one was striking or in the streets because an SR killed another minister

Trillion dollar military budget and can't even feed our troops. Those bomb companies really know how to squeeze us for every last drop.

Never said I love billionaires and capitalism, just saying there are better ways to fight them then assassinations. It's trying to solve a systemic problem with an individualistic solution.

We need to organize and unite to defeat the capitalists, if people rally around a dead oligarch then that can be good, but if it alienates people due to the inevitable collateral damage then that's bad for the cause.

Either way though the main challenge is building solidarity and there are safer ways to do this with more mass appeal, albeit less drama, then assassinations.

The SRs did this for nearly a century in czarist Russia and it didn't bring them any closer to revolution. By the 1910s they made being a minister for the Czar a legitimately dangerous profession, if anything it made the regime more reactionary and made them beef up the police state.
