But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
Correct, which is exactly the point from the first post in this thread!

But its not just agriculture. Golf courts use more water than AI datacenters!

Its not comparable. Skip a single burger and you can use AI every minute for the rest your life to compensate.

for instance, GPT-3 took 700,000 liters of water to train. That sounds like a lot! It is roughly the amount of water used to raise the amount of beef that *two* Americans eat in a year.

Air Travel is magnitudes cheaper than it was during whatever imagined golden age they imagine. They are free to propose regulation that limits air travel back to business class prices.

There’s a reason this Github project is literally called “MoneyPrinter” 😬 Facebook has a similar payout program btw. github.com/FujiwaraChok...

It might stymie whatever half-baked PC/Console hybrid plans MS has for the next-gen Xbox console release.

I doubt this will shake up the console market. They already made clear that this will be pretty expensive (pre-built PC level, not console), and mid-generation means market-share is settled. Can still be a hit - the same way the Steam Deck is - but that didnt have any impact on the Switch either.

Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.

"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."

Thank you (and/or Stacey) for talking in this post about how research and recreational play are two different types of preservation! This is something that's challenging to explain when we're talking about preservation, copyright, and all that
