A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I just realized I have no idea how electeicity works πŸ’€

My understanding is not much better. It’s send electrons across wire.

It's not even that! The electrons don't even move particularly much. The energy is moved by the E/M field created around the circuit, which is even more wild and mind bending.
