This is obviously an important issue, but I think the fact that the average millennial has essentially *no* housing wealth, while the average boomer does, will remain a bigger dividing line. The diff between renting and owning is much bigger than between ยฃ100k/ยฃ1m house

If you are using LLMs for summarizing long docs, you really should read this paper

Over 50% of book summaries (incl by Claude Opus and GPT-4) were identified as containing factual errors and errors of omission

Lesson: don't blindly assume AI summarization tools work. Test them.

Fossil fuel companies would have zero emissions if no one bought their products. Itโ€™s unproductive to argue about whether the emissions belong to the buyer or the seller of the fuel.

Complain about their deceptive claims, not about the fact that they sell fuel to willing buyers.
