Very nice tool to test this! For a few original texts (that just live on my private devices and has never been uploaded anywhere) I could not get the de-BLANK-ing to work at all though... Maybe my excerpts where just too short or special-domain...

Comment from Germany (where all of this might be different) — but is there a chance that these differences arise from how close each generation lives to other relatives like grandparents/uncles&aunts/…?
Maybe boomer care time is lower because grandparents where closer to help out more?

Since Jan 1 2025, which feels like four trillion years ago, research has been shared on here 5 million whole-ass times. Bluesky recently passed 2 billion posts IN TOTAL.
So 0.25% of the entire site's traffic was citations to research.
That is actually massively high. Is it? Yes. Here's why.

There are many claims that AI is a “planet killing” source of greenhouse gases.
But is it?
This paper might be the most detailed estimate of the emissions associated with AI.
It suggests that AI could emit as much as 30-80 *million* tons of CO2 per year.

Thanks, good to know it comes from OpenAI directly. I am afraid they have an interest to downplay this number so I would take it with a grain of salt.. the article puts it in context nicely, saying that its unclear what an average query is and how to account for the huuuge initial training costs
