Total marketing. The slave colonies, when they signed the Constitution, agreed that the United States could do away with slavery in 20 years. They then delayed the process until 1860 when everything came to a head. They seceded and started the Slaveholders' Rebellion, which they lost, as I get the sense they expected to from the start, due to having a weaker navy than the North.

They then spent the next 150 years fighting a.covert war to restore slavery, so it now appears.

Trump is moving illegal status children to Texas so they can't get proper legal representation.

"Since taking office last year, Trump officials have chipped away at these protections, including making it more difficult for relatives to obtain children in custody, arresting them after welfare checks and suing to end a decades-long federal settlement agreement overseeing the rights of children in custody. Children are now staying in federal detention for months, prompting congressional scrutiny."

Tech bros are morons. The things these nut bars truly, actually, believe are incredible. That they can upload their consciousness into a computer, for example. Or that we're going to go and live on Mars. Or live forever with supplements. It's nuts

Anyway, this is another fantasy that if we stuff the internet and all its memes into a box the box will become sentient 😂.* (Plus they get the added benefit of never having to pay a human ever again)

So Sam Altman said the other day that humans also use energy.

I looked up a human's energy use. It appears to be about seven mega joules per day. I ran that through a converter into kilowatt hours and that's about 1.9 KW hours or 1900 watt hours per day.

An average household uses about 30 kW hours per day.

Google says a standard LLM query is about 0.3 watt hours https://www.technologyreview.com/2025/08/21/1122288/google-gemini-ai-energy/. (I note that it would have every reason to lowball this number.)

So we each represent 6300 queries 🤣

No you would need sextillions of molecules of egg.

What about 500 sextillion molecules?

Google's answer to me was "yes it does have a new game + (note the single plus) which some games call new game ++"

No.

Zero video games would call the third playthrough a single plus.

That's ridiculous. Large language models are ridiculous. And they feed you this information confidently.
