I do all my shopping in ChatGPT. There must be a way to monetize that. For example, I want to buy a new backpack for carrying my laptop and other mobile web stuff. I should be able to set up anywhere there's wifi. I've got a modern MacBook Air, an iPad and two phones, one iOS and one Android. The main one is Android, I have to carry the iPhone because I use an Apple watch. I imagine there must be some improvements made in backpacks accordingly since I bought the last one, which was when I lived in Berkeley, in the late 00s.

I've been evangelizing evangelism lately. Focus on goals and help others help us achieve them. It's a virtuous cycle, because once people figure out that they can get help by helping us, they will help us more. That is, when it works.

A single Q&A session with a large language model can consume more than a half-liter of fresh water to cool servers. Asking ChatGPT one question reportedly consumes 10 times as much electricity as a conventional Google search. And generating an image is equivalent to charging a smartphone.

Should we be worried about that?

Climate advice columnist Michael J. Coren doesn’t think so – or, at least, we shouldn’t lose sleep over it. 

Today on “Post Reports,” he joins host Colby Itkowitz to dispel myths around AI’s energy consumption, explain how to use AI chatbots responsibly, and break down our other energy-intensive digital habits. 

Today’s show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Ted Muldoon and Reena Flores, and mixed by Sean Carter. Thanks to Marisa Bellack.

LAS VEGAS — By now, there's virtually no mystery to the Aces. Their best players now were their best players three years ago. They weaponize continuity, familiarity. If you believed in this team heading into the WNBA Finals against a shiny new Phoenix Mercury team, it was at least partially because they’ve been here before. 

What really makes them special, though, is how calmly they navigate places they haven’t been. The Aces followed up their 89-86 win in Game 1 Friday night with a more fearsome 91-78 victory Sunday afternoon. They head to Phoenix for Games 3 and 4 with a 2-0 series lead, and with the confidence that they can always find some new way to win.

What is the appeal of college football outside of campus-indoctrinated school spirit? Is it enough that it's football and it exists? If that were the case, we'd all have watched the XFL more. The unique attraction of the college game is how it offers a level of chaos and magic at any given moment that makes suffering through maddening incompetence worth it. Anything really can happen. Case in point: one of the worst teams in the sport, a winless UCLA team that fired its coach and a couple coordinators just two weeks ago, just this weekend took out seventh-ranked Penn State, 42-37.

FediForum starts tomorrow and runs for a couple days. It’s an online conference for folks who want to discuss and build for the future of the social web, from Mastodon to Bluesky. There has been a lot of new developer activity over on the Bluesky side, so I’m curious if any of that will bubble up.

OpenAI’s latest move in the race to build massive data centers in the US shows it believes demand for AI will keep surging—even as skeptics warn of a bubble.

Former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez will face at least one felony charge for his role in a fight outside a pub in Indianapolis on Oct. 4 that culminated in his getting stabbed, according to local officials. Previously, Sanchez had been charged with three misdemeanors: battery resulting in injury, public intoxication, and unlawful entry of a motor vehicle. As of Monday, that first charge has since been upgraded to a felony: battery involving serious bodily injury.

In this installment of our election year series, a look into what the candidates -- especially former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani -- might do as mayor to influence the Israeli-Palestinian conflict one way or another. Jim Walden, a former federal prosecutor who ran as an independent in the NYC mayor's race, first explains his support for Cuomo, who signed an executive order as governor barring the state from doing business with any organization that participated in the BDS movement. Then, Jeremy Cohan, sociologist and NYC-DSA leader and spokesperson, breaks down Mamdani's Not On Our Dime Act, intended to punish organizations that aid Israeli West Bank settlers.
