I dunno, I think, though it's pure speculation, but isn't it the other way around? birds do most of their lives on their feet, sitting and waiting or hopping and eating worms. it's when they're in flight that they zonk out and, i think i heard once a long time ago, they sleep in flight? (?!) so their reaction time is really because they're just watching all the time either in trees or on the ground.

Interesting and solid advice. Not that a large percentage of customers were to follow it, but if they were to take your advice, I wonder the effect on advertisements would be. Likely advertisers would pay less, and providers would charge customers more. They'd pay less because they don't have a determined and reliable pool of audience. C'est la vie

So Citizens United in effect argued corporations should have privileges humans enjoy (donating cash to campaigns). What about data centers? I mean, individual data centers, outside of ownership? The thinking goes: the US invested/invests in these data centers and has a stake in AI-producing companies, who in turn depend on data centers. Clip the data centers and you clip AI, so they are national importance, on par with the corporations above them.
