| Speaking how which, how are economists using AI? Are they getting better at making predictions? |

| Letting companies get away with applying token limits etc. is ridiculous. The electricity is not the bottleneck (taxpayers subsidize it). The knowledge was stolen from artists and writers. It's a logic gate on tool use determining if you're in the right economic class. |
