Coulda fooled me

Perplexity is kinda half-decent with showing its sources, and I do rely on it a lot to get me 50% of the way there, at which point I jump into the suggested sources, do some of my own thinking, and do the other 50% myself.

It’s been pretty useful to me so far.

I’ve realised I don’t want complete answers to anything really. Give me a roundabout gist or template, and then tell me where to look for more if I’m interested.

my pessimism: eventually we will reach diminishing tech gains, or the producers no longer want to compete, and they will form a battery consortium who will deign which batteries are “safe” and “unsafe” and the market will stagnate, eventually giving rise to shrinkflation and we’ll all be left begging for fusion to come in and lower our energy bills
