This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think you underestimate how much time and energy it took to get us to this point. Like, billions of years of evolution to arrive at a brain as efficient as ours.
Did you just externalise all the other inputs?
It's usually a lot faster in producing outputs though.
How many R in strawberry ?
how many R not in strawberry?
depends what age your brain is, a 1 year old brain wouldn’t have a clue… and number of mental defects or how intoxicated the person is or whether you have vocalisation issues, health issues, if your brain is shut down/asleep for however many hours overnight it won’t be able to tell you anything, ai ofc doesn’t have these issues
it’s very likely actual electricity use will soon not be an issue, we are already flooded with too much solar power during the day, in maybe as little as 10 or so years we may have so much solar and battery we have essentially unlimited renewable power
on top of all of this ai is in its infancy, who knows where it will be at in 100 years, maybe jobs are a thing of the past and we just spend all day socialising and spending time on our hobbies
Human energy needs are incredibly variable so the estimates for normal consumption are wrong for most people, but when you get into essential systems (basically cardiovascular and nervous, not even including digestive or any muscle movement) you actually need even less - the average (by weight, height & age) man needs 1950kcal or so and the average woman (by height, weight & age) needs 1450kcal or so
When we replace AI with brains in jars I'm sure we can cut it down even more though
