OK, this thing is amazing and props to @siracusa for another really neat tool. I look forward to giving it a run on my mom's machine -- it's got multiple users on it (and the tool doesn't do cross-user file linking alas, though I understand why) and they're regularly short of disk space.

AI has a lot of problems, but maybe counter intuitive, energy consumption is not a big issue!
Very interesting read by Andy Masley on the energy consumption of ChatGPT compared to services like streaming and other cloud services.

He does not mention the Jevons paradox though which could have negative outcomes for some services I guess.
