Even when powered by fossil fuel power plants, electric vehicles are still usually better in terms of CO2 emissions. Power plants benefit from scale, so they're a lot more efficient than the tiny combustion engines in cars. Regenerative braking also saves a ton of energy when driving in the city.

Not sure what you're doing to other people, but I don't think I've ingested macroscopic quantities of anyone else's skin cells since I was a young child who was a little too fond of biting. If you count individual cells it's probably technically true that I inhale some occasionally, but that's a bit misleading. I'm still constantly practicing self-cannibalism though!
Sell it to the merpeople, they'll be happy to have a proper house for once!
The AI that we trained on racism is racist? Clearly it's the AI's fault, we're totally innocent!
Almost as if any election "fraud" by immigrants is so minor it has zero influence on anything, who would've thought?
Quantum entangled particles can't influence each other; they just allow you to infer information about one particle by observing the other. It's like if you randomly put a red and a blue ball in two different boxes without looking, then moved them far apart. Opening one box and seeing a red ball instantly tells you the other box has a blue ball, no matter the distance, but no information has been transmitted faster than the speed of light (because the boxes can only move slower than light).
Huh that's really interesting, you're right, and I learned a lot of new stuff about networking that I didn't know before.
If you're not on the same local network as the server and it's not configured to be accessible from the general internet, you need some sort of proxy to access it.
Yeah this seems fine; if they're proxying the stream through their server it's using their bandwidth which costs them money. It doesn't make sense for them to not charge for it.
True, my estimate for tokens may have been a bit low. Assuming a 7 hour school day where someone talks at 5 tokens/sec you'd encounter about 120k tokens. You're off by 3 orders of magnitude on your energy consumption though; 1 watt-hour is 0.86 food Calories (kcal).
Around a year ago I bet a friend $100 we won't have AGI by 2029, and I'd do the same today. LLMs are nothing more than fancy predictive text and are incapable of thinking or reasoning. We burn through immense amounts of compute and terabytes of data to train them, then stick them together in a convoluted mess, only to end up with something that's still dumber than the average human. In comparison humans are "trained" with maybe ten thousand "tokens" and ten megajoules of energy a day for a decade or two, and take only a couple dozen watts for even the most complex thinking.
