AI: The Secret Life of “Please” and “Thank You”

The Hidden Cost of Politeness: How “Thank You” Drains the Planet (And Why AI Doesn’t Care) Ever chatted with a friend, laughed at their jokes, and ended the convo with a warm “Thanks for the advice!”? Now, what if I told you that same “thanks” directed at ChatGPT could power a lightbulb for hours? Or fill a water bottle enough to drown a goldfish? Let’s unpack why your polite AI chats might be eco-disasters in disguise - and why the robots won’t hold a grudge if you skip the pleasantries.   AI: The Secret Life of “Please” and “Thank You” The Secret Life of “Please” and “Thank You” ChatGPT isn’t your Aunt Karen - it doesn’t need emotional validation. Yet, 67% of AI users still say “please” and “thank you,” partly to avoid a Terminator -style uprising. Spoiler: AI won’t overthrow humanity if you’re rude.

The EU’s AI Moonshot: Gigafactories, Gigawatts, and the Race to Outsmart the Future The twist: Europe isn’t panicking. Instead, it’s playing the long game. The EU’s new strategy isn’t just about catching up - it’s about leapfrogging . Picture this: Instead of building faster cars, they’re inventing teleportation. These gigafactories are meant to power “moonshots” - AI projects so ambitious they’d make Elon Musk blush. We’re talking AI that diagnoses diseases before symptoms appear, robots that assemble airplanes like LEGO sets, and algorithms that solve climate change. (Yes, really.)   Aha! Moment: The EU isn’t just building computers; it’s building ...
