Main points are that brain takes ~20% of body's Base Metabolic Rate, and that active thinking takes 5% more than BMR.

Whole body context: - Base Metabolic Rate (awake): ~1.0-1.1 kcal/kg/hr - Deep Sleep Metabolic Rate: 0.8-0.9 kcal/kg/hr

CG says brain follows this as well.

So it suggests brain power use varies from 0.8 minimum to 1.1, with an extra 0.05 for thinking. This supports ideas that thinking is a relatively minor brain function, at least energetically.

Note, had the same convo with ChatG and it blew right by the O word, and commented that it's nice to have an old recipe to work on over time.

I tried voice chat. It's very good, except for the politics

We started talking about my plans for the day, and I said I was making chili. G asked if I have a recipe or if I needed one. I said, I started with Obama's recipe many years ago and have worked on it from there.

G gave me a form response that it can't talk politics.

Oh, I'm not talking politics, I'm talking chili.

G then repeated form response and tried to change conversation, and as long as I didn't use the O word, we were allowed to proceed. Phew

Not clear from the linked article. Did you see something else?

NPP is probably increasing as it's been observed for years now that the earth is net greening in response to rising CO2

Not following. That top entry is marked as Transformer, which does mean it's an LLM
