Depending on which theory.

The crazier one is the gain of function in lab.

The less crazy one was they were isolating and studying the virus found in the wild and fucked up.
Pretty much.

Most people use federal withholding to pay it.

So everyone needs to update their tax withholding to not do that and to not file for federal tax.
States aren't paying federal.

The individuals in the states are paying.
Yes, although depending on the aim of said revolt.
I think he's going for Bitcoin shilling.
No, they should stay and, when the time comes, just do the bare minimum or protect the protesters from ICE.
A potential low cost tool to push people to in order to free up budget for other stuff would be very tempting, especially when you don't have expertise to properly regulate it.
Yeah, my point is that it doesn't make a system immune to "snake oil" or attempts at cost cutting.

A lot of the time the public healthcare system has to walk the line between "compensate enough to doctors that you get enough doctors" vs "keep the cost low".
My pastor tried to have a memorial sermon on Charlie Kirk.

Promptly got yelled at by every member of the congregation that showed to the meeting.

For an hour from what I heard.
The wind directly determines the tidal surge.

The rain less so, outside of the rare cases like Harvey where it just parked its ass on one spot and fed all the water into it.
"Why should I go to the library when you can bring it to me?" or "why should I read if you can just give me the answer?"

Both I've heard before.

We should have public healthcare, yes.

I'm saying that even with government/public healthcare it won't stop the scenario of companies trying to offer AI therapists.
That's a pretty eloquent way of saying it.

They want the convenience of it and not deal with the inevitable negativity.
Companies that will try to get government/public healthcare contracts to provide AI therapist service with the promise of cost reduction.
The companies that try to sell AI therapists as a solution?
Or worse.

"We want to have a decentralized system!"

"Here's a way for users to be decentralized."

"That's too complicated, we want a centralized way to have a decentralized system."
The analogy I use is that chatbot with finetune as therapist is like grabbing a socially awkward high school grad, give them a DSM-5 plus some books on therapist guideline, cram it for a few weeks, and talk to "patients".
Yes, and as you said, they still have incentive to lower costs, which are what these companies will target, a promise that "instead of sending all 10 people to the $100 / hours therapists, you can have 5 people using our $10 / hours first to see if they're happy with it."
produced video, can you do that within the above energy budget?
Sure, a simple 5 second video likely isn't Hollywood quality, but we're talking about 1000x difference there. Remember as I stated before, energy consumption equivalent to 12 hours of PC times, or as the article stated, 100 miles on e-bike.

If you want 5 seconds of decently
I mean we can all throw big numbers around. So let's do this. Given the example in your article, a fundraising campaign with flyer and video produces about 1 KG of carbon. So let's give that all to video, so 0.2 KG per second.
confirms what I know, usage is not a huge power requirement.
