ChatGPT 5 is a nice example of something important: The actual energy consumption of this software can vary across an eye-watering number of variables. OpenAI is keeping that *range* very secret (as are Google etc)

69% on a 2025 US survey agreed that "Vaccines have been mostly beneficial to human health."
Just 11% disagreed; 20% were unsure. The graph shows % agreement across subgroups.
Only among 3rd-party voters and those "neutral" on Trump did agreement fall below 50%. 🧪 carsey.unh.edu/publication/...

Scrubbing away the bloodstains, tipping out the truth

A big part of the next election, judging from this and Dutton's recent Sky interview, is going to be about which major party can scrape the lowest in front of the orange monster.
