i've been loving this. btw, why not ask it about cold fusion, Jed?
there's a macOS topbar / toolbar icon app that lets you click on the icon
at the topbar, and start asking it questions. i've been asking it about
free energy and helping me convert a bash script to python. the answers are
pretty great.

fine i'll bite, i'll ask it about cold fusion.
Q: what is Cold Fusion, Low Energy Nuclear Reactions? who are the movers
and the shakers of this new breakthrough science?
A: Cold Fusion, also known as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), is a
controversial scientific field that seeks to explain the production of
nuclear fusion at relatively low temperatures and pressures. This would be
a significant breakthrough, as it would potentially allow for a clean and
abundant source of energy.
However, Cold Fusion is a highly disputed field, and many scientists are
skeptical of its claims and the evidence supporting them. As a result, the
scientific community has not widely accepted the idea of Cold Fusion, and
the field is not well-funded or supported.
There are a few notable researchers and organizations that are actively
pursuing the study of Cold Fusion, including Andrea Rossi and Leonardo
Corporation, who claim to have developed a working cold fusion device, and
the Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project, which is a group of scientists and
engineers who are investigating cold fusion and its potential applications.
Overall, the field of Cold Fusion is still in its early stages, and its
validity and potential applications are the subject of much debate and
controversy.
the thing is that you could keep asking it more specific questions and it'd
keep answering.
