The guy you’re replying to celebrated the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, so I wouldn’t bother If I was you.
Being “recyclable” doesn’t mean that they get recycled, because it’s often not economically feasible - like with solar panels. Are there lots and lots of recyclable materials in them? Absolutely. Does it cost more to extract them out than it does to buy a new one? Absolutely.
Most batteries, especially those used for home batteries, will never be recycled. They’ll end up in landfill, leaching toxic chemicals into the earth.
Also the materials used to make new batteries are not renewable. There are finite resources of them. They require mining. Mining equipment and trucks aren’t running on solar or batteries. As more and more are needed, more and more mining is needed.
The entire “renewables” push is based around endlessly manufacturing non recyclable things that end in landfill, using non-renewable materials, creating large amounts of toxic emissions - but the ones pushing it don’t care because the emissions happen somewhere else by someone else so they can claim to be carbon neutral.
I think you didn’t even read the article or read up about this integration.
This isn’t just an LLM, it’s Agentic AI.
AI is a tool that needs to be learned how to be used properly. Anyone can pick it up and get results that are “good enough“, but in the right hands what can be done is incredible - just like with any tool.
Look at something like minecraft as a perfect example of what can be done with a tool in the right hands.
Most people don’t understand “AI” as it is, and mistakenly think it’s just a school assignment cheating tool and a chat bot that makes things up.
People in here have been saying since LLMs can’t do maths perfectly it’s terrible for numbers, but they can’t see that it doesn’t need to do maths here because it’s in excel and excel has formulas and functions that can.
It’s crazy how the mere mention of AI makes some people lose any and all semblance of critical thinking and intelligence.
Excel is very simple to work with
Ok so your idea of excel is just what your average person might do at home with it - that’s not what or who this stuff is for.
Liberals pose as leftists
If liberals aren't on the left, where are they?
Actual leftists want the forces of democracy to overrun capitalism completely and permanently,
The right are the ones that want democracy - power to the people, small government, well defined laws and regulations, and fair elections. The left and liberals want communism and authoritarianism. They crave it. They want to be controlled and given their rations, with extreme censorship and no differing views allowed, punishable by death.
You aren’t on a corporate platform where you can talk like an american cable news pundit without anyone pointing out how ridiculous you sound.
Amazing.
Some reading for you, which I hope you'll read:
https://www.cis.org.au/publication/the-renewable-energy-honeymoon-starting-is-easy-the-rest-is-hard/

Since I doubt you or anyone else will, I'll take some bits from it:
As you can see, as wind + solar generation share goes up, retail electricity prices go up. They never go down. They never even stay the same.
“As the proportion of weather-dependent energy in the grid grows, the costs and difficulties of integrating this energy also grow at an increasing rate.”
...
The paper found (as per the graph):
• Countries with less than 21% wind and solar generation have electricity prices of around US $0.15/kWh on average.
• Countries with between 21% and 33% wind and solar generation have electricity prices of around US $0.24/kWh on average.
• Countries that exceed 33% wind and solar generation, have electricity prices of around US $0.37/kWh on average.
...
The research notes, “No country has achieved penetrations higher than 60%, let alone 90%, without costs going up. A low-cost, wind-and-solar-dependent country simply does not exist.”
Ah so not only do you defend/celebrate political assassinations, you also can’t understand context.
As soon as solar panels and batteries are involved it’s not “clean, green energy” though. I have no idea how people ate that lie.
Solar panels don’t grow on trees. They’re not made from renewable sources. They require mass amounts of mining and coal/gas created energy to make, and they last 10-20 years max. They’re not recyclable either because it costs more to recycle them than it does to make a new one.
Batteries are even worse.
You get $4/kWh?! We get 2c here in Australia lol
This isn’t just an LLM. It uses excel functions and features to do the counting and adding and dealing with large data sets.
It’s not “vibe coding” as much as “vibe performing steps in excel”.
Also LLMs absolutely can deal with large data sets anyway. Not sure where you got that from.
That’s not at all what this means. In this instance, 70% is basically “human level”. For AI to already get 57% it means that it’s approaching the same level as people do in Excel.
