.24 Watt-hours is 864 Watts for one second, so a 100W human takes ~9 seconds for that output.

You're right. It's clear I should have had an LLM write my comment rather than do it myself before a cup of coffee. I've already spent an order of magnitude more energy thinking about this article compared to an LLM.

Also, since I live a first-world life style which consumes multiple KW of power, I've probably consumed multiple orders of magnitude energy more than an LLM on this topic.

Perhaps sxp used an LLM to do his calculation.
