"At current growth rates, some new AI servers could soon gobble up more than 85 terawatt hours of electricity each year, researchers have estimated — more than some small nations’ annual energy consumption."
Before you use that chatbot prompt, you should be aware that these generative AI companies are using so much power that they're trying to get more power plants built.

Bearing in mind that there were ~750 MILLION people worldwide who lacked electricity in 2023 - no light or heat without smoke, no a/c in summer, no stove, no kettle, never fuckin mind internet access for education - this seems a particularly egregious, assholish piece of waste.

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

The explainer as to why /pol/, and I say this with the deepest sigh, is key to the current fucking bullshit American regime and the rising fash trend around the world.
The most important thing in today's Epstein files may involve 4chan. In 2011, Epstein met with 4chan creator Christopher "moot" Poole; that same day, Poole launched the /pol/ board that 3 years later would be the heart of Gamergate. And Gamergate was the start of the movements that led to Jan 6. 1/
he also appears to have met moot the same day /pol/ was (re)launched (not my image)
