Smart people vote with their feet. [you betcha]
-- Donald Hughes McElhone, Ph.D.[statistics, Iowa State]/1975

-- Claire Brown, et al/2025 [no NCAR?, and NOAA? de Nile is just a river]

Better A.I. would remember what it learns, just as humans do, and squeeze more work from each watt. Tech companies spend billions of dollars running large language models that don't learn while they run.
