The president’s team is trying to stomp out coverage of his prior comments about young girls amid fallout regarding his alleged ties to pedophilic sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, torched The Daily Beast for dredging up remarks that Donald Trump made during an interview with Howard Stern in 2006, when he told the radio show host that the best part about being Donald Trump was that he could get “all the girls” he wanted—if he wasn’t married to his wife.


But then Trump got into a questionable back-and-forth with the show’s co-host, Robin Quivers, who asked the real estate mogul: “Do you have an age limit?”

“No, no, I have no age—,” Trump started, before backtracking. “I mean, I have an age—I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”

      The amount of energy being spent on any basic social media services is completely dwarfed by what it takes to run generative algorithms.

      why on earth am i being downvoted? you really think the energy expenditure required to save and serve text comes anywhere near what it takes to run an LLM?

        I didn’t downvote, but while you’re factually correct, you’re missing the point and derailing the debate.

          Talk to this guy:

          Lower_lifted and every Lemmy user causes climate change. Yep. you’re complicit if you use servers that are powered by fossil fuels as most do.

          That’s where the debate changed to be about Lemmy servers using too much electricity.

          Lemmy.ca is probably powered by waterfalls anyway.

            You also missed the point that I was clowning on LL for this guilt by association nonsense.
