What the hell? If they just asked ChatGPT it would have been much better:

  • Repository: A folder of project files on the internet.

  • Fork: Your own copy of that folder to make changes.

  • Pull Request: A way to ask, “Can my changes go back into the original folder?”

To be fair ChatGPT didn't exist 12 years ago.

The Fox News intern probably didn't need a ton of water and the energy of a small country just to be trained, though.

Human needs more water and less energy, yes.

Get desalination plants and a closed loop manufacturing process and all you need to care about is energy.

They might even be trying to get an enrichment plant while they are at it, who knows?
