I had to laugh. Some ad executive has a genius for hopping on bandwagons. when public opinion finally swings away from AI, any product without aluminum can claim “No Al”

Oh, you didn’t?
Every guy named Al in shambles right now.
Weird.
We literally kicked someone from a call yesterday because his name just showed up as "Al" instead of his full name
I know a guy who changed his name to Allan because of how prevalent the topic of AI was getting in his messages
What did Al generate now!?
Al generated a massive income to support actions to help homeless people and stop new AI datacenters from being built in nature perserves.
Unfortunate though he chose to target a rival Al's data centres instead of focusing on the important fight against Artificial intelligence
Al Jolson would be devastated.
It’s not even pure Al, but a ‘Weird’ combination alloy.
A 'Weird Al', if you will.
I'll be That Guy and say that essentially every structural piece of aluminum in the world is an aluminum alloy. Pure aluminum is very soft and more difficult to manufacture into usable parts.
But pureer = gooder and less pureer = badder!?!!?
Would you care for some pure stainless steel?
Gross, you mean that MIGHTY PURE IRON that some dweeb infected with carbon
You are thinking of regular steel. Stainless steel may not even have any iron or carbon, so don't worry.
My product is 99.999% pure stainless steel by weight.
But aluminium puree is really weird to build with
I was being fececious, there's a reason it was the bronze age and not the copper age
aka 'slop metal'
my >70yo father says A1
Yeah, it's that important.
TBF, Al might actually be a reason not to buy it in the unlikely case a similar one made of Cu was also available, as this one would have a higher thermal conductivity (and also more style!).
And also more price
See it as an investment in a non-volatile, hard-backed asset.
Will get you through another day when you sell the raw metal after you lost all your other life savings during the AI stock market crash!
