I agree that 12 years isn't "long past" the lifespan if a computer, but that's also an aggressive and very implausible worst case scenario.

Are you really pro-life if you don’t care about the mother’s life too?” Jess asks. “Doctors shouldn’t be afraid to do their job, but in Iowa, they are. This isn’t what we voted for.

Yeah. It is. It has been repeated, over and over, that the "pro-life" position blatantly disregards the well being of the mother. There is no chance that when she cast her vote she had not been exposed to that argument at some point.

She just didn't care until it was her life instead of just any nameless "mother".

Not if they're referencing a specific 650 million. North America has about that many people but punches well above its weight in power usage per capita.

Sounds like she did and the city just ignored it.

I've always found the underlying assumption of this statement a bit weird. Are people regularly intervening on behalf of stores when they see shoplifters? Is that actually a thing you need to tell people not to do?

I love how I'm being promoted to use AI on an article about the excessive resource use of AI.

Not sure of the specifics on the article, but astronomical voids are their own specific thing, not just the vacuum of space.
