- Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity 1 week ago:

- Comment on SpaceX Starship blows up twice in a row. 5 months ago:
Ah, yes, the SpaceX method of rapid development and iterative design by… testing in production and making debris rain over the Caribbean, disrupting air traffic in the region. I’m done with fanboys calling this method genius. “Oh, it would make the production lines idle for months”. Bullshit. Just make it right. Compare it to the Saturn V, it only needed one test flight to orbit and never had a major failure, and the Saturn V had components welded and drilled by hand, with 60’s tech.
