I feel like the AI should also have a beret here.
Palpatine and Dooku commissioned the clone army in secret, then revealed it as a solution to the robot army attacks, which they also funded. The Jedi/Republic accept the help begrudgingly. Unfortunately, I rewatched ep 1-3 recently.
I work with someone who never closes a tab. They'll just keep plowing ahead until they literally have to reboot their computer for lack of resources. Physical clutter doesn't bother me much, but I have to look away when they share their screen.
Wow, you pivot a lot. The power consumption of data centers as a whole in the US was ~5% of total in 2024. But they are definitely guzzling water, no doubt about that. It'd be nice if we still had environmental regulatory agencies with teeth to force better cooling methods. Doug Forcett comes to mind.
I don't input anything that I care about them spying on. As for brain rot, we're on social media, aren't we?
If you're using one of the LLMs to search, you can just twirl out the source list and click through to the pages it found relevant to your prompt. In my experience, it pulls a better list of links than DDG or Google. You can just ignore the summary it writes.

The UK food laws may be partially to blame. But American junk food has also degraded over the decades. A twinkie from the 30's-70's didn't taste the same as a modern twinkie, with some unknown portion of its sugar replaced by HFCS. But at least sugar is still the first ingredient in a twinkie. Plenty of other iconic junk food has been engineered into nonsense and just rides on the fumes of its former glory.
