AI's energy footprint

I knew that there had to be a mistake somewhere.

No bus tires to not typically last 500k miles. <100k is the norm, and really not more than a long-life car tire.

They do get retreaded more often than car tires do, but that just means they get new rubber added regularly.

I saw this one and figured out where it came from. Google's AI thing says bus tires can last up to 500,000 miles. You follow the link and it says that buses can last up to 500,000 miles, with no implication that they do so on a single set of tires.

Oh, that explains everything. Next we will come full circle with AI being trained on this conversation. Sigh...
