This is Magnus. He just beat cancer. His family wrote the big news on their car and bought him balloons to celebrate. Magnus got so much love from strangers the whole way home. His human said, "I hope everyone has a Magnus in their lives, who shows them what determination and strength are." 14/10

New federal regulation idea: Consumers who choose to use AI must personally produce the energy consumed by the technology to run their prompts. All users must install a human-sized hamster wheel in their house/office and connect it to the grid.
An estimate of the energy cost of producing one single 10 second Sora video: one kilowatt hour.
- Deplete and then recharge your iphone 17 68 times
- 10% of daily German household use
- 5.5 hours of Netflix
- ~4hrs of gaming
This is probably a huge underestimate

The Admiral was thrown under the bus in seconds. Rules of engagement are sacred, and everyone knows it, which is why the truth about what Pete did leaked. Pete and Trump are no leaders. And they are not judge, jury, or executioner. Those poor fishermen.
