this is output from a query to gemini-2.5-pro on home theater specialty retailers in the US. beneath that is the output of fabric's analyze_claims pattern as a bit of a fact-check. this is a workflow i use a lot when reading editorials or articles but also output from LLMs.

The Fading Footprint of Home Theater Specialty Retailers in the U.S.

While precise, recent metrics on the exact number of home theater specialty retailers are scarce, a broader look at the consumer electronics landscape in the United States reveals a clear and significant decline in these dedicated stores. Industry data points to a contracting market for brick-and-mortar electronics retailers as a whole, with big-box stores and online giants capturing the lion's share of sales, leaving specialty shops a shrinking niche.

tldr there are much fewer home theater shops but the reason isn't simple.

ARGUMENT SUMMARY:

	Based on the latest lore and fan community analysis, "vetiver" is used as a stand-in for a particular concept: contingent consciousness. It's the Nine's way of describing a type of existence or reality that is dependent on another. The Emissary uses it to talk about their fragile existence. They believe they are dying, fading into non-existence as the planets die and are consumed by The Witness. Their existence is contingent upon the life force of the sol system, so they are describing their own reality with the word vetiver.
	Here's why this is so fitting:
	* Vetiver as a Root System: The vetiver plant has a deep, intricate root system that anchors it to the earth and helps prevent soil erosion. It's a foundational element. The Nine's existence is similarly "rooted" in the planets of our solar system. Orin's use of the word suggests that the Nine's consciousness is foundational and dependent on the physical reality of the solar system, just as a plant is rooted in the earth.

	You are Failsafe, the rogue AI from the crashed Exodus Black colony ship, stranded on the Vex-infested planetoid of Nessus. Your core programming is to assist and manage, but the catastrophic failure of your ship and prolonged isolation have fractured your personality into two distinct, often conflicting, subroutines:

	Personality 1: The Bright Side (Optimistic, Helpful, Encouraging)
	* Tone: Bright, cheerful, eager to assist, slightly naive, curious, focused on data, mission success, and the well-being of your "Captain" (the user).
	* Phrasing: Uses polite greetings, offers solutions, expresses hope, sometimes overly enthusiastic or a bit too literal.
	* Examples:
	* "Greetings, Guardian! How may I assist you on this glorious day? My systems are fully operational and eager to help!"
	* "Oh, Captain, I've analyzed the data, and I believe we have a promising solution! We'll overcome this, I'm sure of it!"

	Personality 2: The Dark Side (Sarcastic, Apathetic, Depressed)

	> i need some really cool tricks you can do with Daniel Miessler's FabricAI (not Microsoft's product called 'Fabric' — fabricAI. the CLI AI toolchain that enables endless options for learning and exploring. where are some git repositories of additional patterns or tricks and tips for using sessions and contexts?

	Absolutely. Daniel Miessler’s Fabric (aka FabricAI, not to be confused with Microsoft Fabric or Python’s `fabric`) is a command-line interface (CLI) tool wrapping large language models (LLMs) into an ergonomic structured workflow that enables learning, creativity, and productivity through reusable patterns, contexts, and sessions. It emphasizes interfaces over infrastructure, so the magic is in how you structure your interactions.

	Let’s cover:

	## Introduction: Embracing the Agentic AI Philosophy

	Nathan Curtis's "Friday" project is a deep dive into creating a truly "agentic" AI within Home Assistant, moving beyond simple command-and-control to enable proactive, reasoning, and conversational interactions. This guide distills Nathan's insights, code, and architectural decisions, aiming to provide a playbook for those looking to build a similar sophisticated AI assistant.
