That's not a real will stancil tweet

We used to call this "catch and release" for reasons I can't remember back in the day and it was seen as running a tight ship

Electricity is more an issue, but all these data centers are serving up Netflix and TikTok when what we used to do is get into a one ton combustion machine powered by 6,000 explosions a minute to pick up a physical disc that took more energy to make than months chats.

The average American uses enough water for 800,000 chatbot prompts. per day. That seems insane because normally we don't think about the amount of water it takes to make a single sheet of paper or (if you're in for a wild ride) to produce a hamburger or pair of jeans.

But the simplest takeaway is this. Anything you do on a computer is going to have less water and electricity impact than anything you don't do on a computer, by orders of magnitude.

The unfortunate thing is most of what you hear about water, electricity, and AI is misinformation. I say unfortunate because since the reality is so far removed from the story people are hearing if you say that you'll sound like a crazy person.

Yes

Oh wonderful, hope to see you there

If he had tied it to a democracy agenda, in retrospect I don't think he could have pegged it to Rs and I don't think the coalition would have held long. I also didn't understand that part of this was predictive framing of the increases of open enrollment. Which is actually really astute. I was wrong

I really really dislike him. But I'm happy to have been very wrong about how things would play out. Sometimes you have to let yourself be surprised.

Schumer has so many issues and I thought this larger plan of his to peg to ACA would fail miserably. But he has now held a shutdown coalition together longer than anyone, made it to the ACA increase notifications, pegged this to Rs, at least slightly juiced an electoral win while doing it.

It's not the worst aspect of social media but the naive belief that all language is expressive is very tiring. Ah yes, politicians, who famously eschew guile.

when you start thinking of pelosi's historical peers you're thinking of people like henry clay

I think that's exactly right. I am not saying they could never get there, who knows? But the stuff people promote currently as the end of handcrafted video games feels like the equivalent of Muzak. Great if you're in an elevator. Not something you're giving your day off to.

Yeah, exactly. The things which get hallucinated are (somewhat) predictable; conflation errors are not.

Not to give too much away but yeah

Yeah I think the thing people forget is the amount of time people invest in playing these games is the true cost to the individual. It's not a carton of milk where you increase efficiency and bring down the price. It has to be filled with delight.
