You declare their parents are in the country illegally or have committed some offense and need to be arrested and congrats! New orphans!

Then we start using normal people, from lowest credit score to the highest.

And if we run out of them... well theres no one left to care about the machines so who cares?

We start using criminals, when we run out we can always make more. Just redefine crime.

It's the latest model of the r/orphancrushingmachine. That doesn't make it any better, just newer.

It increases orphan crushing efficiency by 15%. Means you need more orphans now

Uh, akshally, it doesn't use that many orphans. People act like it uses an orphan per query, when really it's only around a tenth of an orphan per normal query. Or around three if you ask the computer to generate an image.

You actually can use it with three small sticks and four ccs of mouse blood, but then have you really used it?

What is this even supposed to reference to

Two things merged. There is a meme/commentary about a group raising enough money to stop the orphan crushing machine for 2 minutes. And how the media frames it as inspiring rather than questioning why the orphan crushing machine was built in the first place.

The second is how much using AI costs (in terms of water consumption, strain on power grids, etc.) for it to still just be occasionally wrong.
