aaaaaaaaaaa it's always a tiny minority of extremely motivated nutjobs who silently take over and ruin everything. and i forgot about this article because it was from a million years ago i mean almost THREE years ago 🙃
excerpt from the propublica article: "Law students were also fueling this new movement: In the spring of 1982, three of them founded the Federalist Society, a debating and networking group for conservatives and libertarians who felt ostracized on their campuses. Scalia and Bork spoke at the group’s first conference, at Yale Law School. There weren’t enough people to fill the school’s auditorium, so they held it in a classroom."

chart from a spec sheet for the G4 and G5 G.L.O.V.E. products. G4 column lists the maximum voltage at 210-380V, the maximum current at 0.9-1.5 amps (NOT milliamps!), pulse duration 100-115 microseconds, pulse charge 84-125 micro coulombs, and pulse repetition rate at 29.7 - 30.8 "pps" (assumed to mean "pulses per second"). the G5 spec are similar but shifted overall to be lower (e.g. G5 has 0.7-1.2 amps)

Bernie Sanders is leading the charge against data centers, but his AI policy leaves a lot to be desired. As Sanders follows the hype, AOC is taking a different tack by targeted the real harms of generative AI. We need policy that takes on the reality of AI, not the industry’s exaggerations.
