So everyone at your dinner party gets to eat "better" food? Unless the point of the party was for you to cook then it's an improved experience.

GenAI is a tool that lets creators of one medium expand to other mediums without much effort. Like having transcripts auto-generated for a visual podcast, just in the other direction. Low budget (or amateur) poems/songs can turn into short videos; or replace generic album art with better quality generic album art.

The draw will be the primary medium, the rest will just be an extra bonus.

Why would a republican controlled house committee run cover for the Bidens?

The other perspective of this is that luck is "hard work meets opportunity" or that "you make your own luck" or "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take".

There was a conscious choice made to go to a meet-up (networking) and going to a career fair (or conference or further meetups) where you could run into people you've networked with in the past. Without that choice, none of the downstream lucky events would have mattered. So you can acknowledge the role of luck in those uncontrollable downstream aspects (T-shirt, career fair meetup) while also acknowledging what OP's role in creating that situation.

You're not "unlucky" if you had decided to play video games instead of going to either the meetup or the career fair. You could be unlucky if you did both of those and the opportunity never arrived. The former is (bluntly) making excuses about somebodies lack of success.

Or you can just say that someone was lucky to not be born in a country where they're forced into military conscription as a child at which point everyone is back to being lucky. It's all a matter of what you decide to focus on and what perspective you bring into things looking forward or backwards.

Mainland china, probably not. Chinese troops in Taiwan, more likely.

As long as flint's heat is still natural gas based then lights going out is the worst thing. I'm guessing an average winter in flint (if it's not then shift my statement to MN where it is) is much colder then the mess Texas just went through. Things just break when things are that colder, particularly electricity. Just try starting your car when it's -30F.

Power generation for Billions of people seems like a complex problem that everyone seems very willing to boil down to solving with "Just focus on electricity and use wind, solar, and batteries." Sounds a lot like the "just use mongoDB" talk from 6-7 years ago.
