-If one makes a $1000 tax-deductible (starting 2026) donation on a credit card with a cash sign-up bonus to one of the most effective programs with some form of donation match, then they will ultimately spend like $650 but direct like $2000 to the program.

Idk, my highest volume use is like automated workflows where I pull text from various files & have an LLM pull specific data from each of them. Then I have regular code compare the values pulled across files to automate parts of tedious reviews.

Hard to take LLM gripes seriously. A 1000token GPT5 query is the same energy as 2-3 mins of a laptop web searching. If one is saving more than 2-3 mins of searching, they are saving energy.

Per-capita, almost all computer energy & water use is trivial.

The exception is AI image & video generation.

I’m just saying drones are a great tech allowing smaller nations/forces to fight larger aggressor nations/forces & as seen in the Ukrainian Op in Russia they can target key assets/personnel.
If all weren’t made in China I’d say the more common the tech the more deterrence against all authoritarians.

On a completely unrelated note, I’d expect our Army should be taking lessons from Ukraine’s successful civilian drone building efforts, especially the un-jammable fiber-optic cable drones.
Could make for a really interesting hobby for US citizens over the next several years.

The one less optimistic thing is most of the early likes were the women officers, likely 1st targets in any fake ‘DEI’ purges

I had to delete the original FB / Instagram post because several officers were liking it and I didn’t want one of my posts to be the reason an officer with some good sense loses their position to a loyalist in a future purge

Yeah, I’ve posted this to my socials, but on sites where I have military friends I’ve advised to not interact with the post as I don’t put loyalty tests & social media investigations out of the question
