thanks duckduckgo, very helpful
DuckDuckGo AI Search Assist answer for "is 121 prime":

"No, 121 is not a prime number. It has more than two factors: 1, 11, and 121, making it a composite number."

For over 5 years now, I have been screaming into the void about how NetworkChuck is a useless corporate puppet who should not be trusted. Whenever I would say that, I would ALWAYS get a response defending him. ...and now I saw this on my video recommendations. I hate being proven right.

I keep getting reminded of why I don't use bluesky anymore...
Original post from me: "Off-grid mesh networking is meant to be anti-fascist by design. If you use generative AI to build it, you are fundamentally a hypocrite."Bridgy Fed notifying me that a non-bridged Bluesky user replied to the postThe reply I was notified of was by an account called "Boltlab AI" and stated the following:

"This is the kind of work that makes AI art feel like a real medium. Well done."
