Thanks, I never saw the Tech Crunch parodies before. I also didn't use the words "make/making the world a better place".

I actually said "it's about saving the planet" based on all the environmentally worried news articles I've seen.

I apologise for the incorrect "make the world a better place" attribution to you.

It does appear that for many of us "saving the planet" has become akin to "making the world a better place".

I was excited last night thinking about what you might uncover at OpenAPI. While we can all speculate (device drivers? File systems? Python itself? DB queries? Memory architecture? Inference algos? ) I recall “I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data” by Sherlock Holmes in "A Scandal in Bohemia".

All the best with your work at OpenAPI. We will all hopefully learn about writing more energy efficient code and about more efficient LLMs and more thanks to your work!
