I Just tried it to build a case for a project my students are working on.
A case for an Arduino Uno, a mini breadboard and an AS608 finger print sensor

Sam Altman said people saying “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT costs OpenAI tens of millions of dollars a year in compute. 67% of Americans do it anyway.
Run the math on why.
A 2024 Waseda University study tested LLM responses across politeness levels in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Impolite prompts produced measurably worse outputs: more bias, more errors, more refusals. Moderate politeness consistently beat both extremes.
The mechanism makes sense once you see it. Polite prompts pattern-match to higher-quality training data. When you write “Could you help me structure this analysis?”, the model pulls from professional, well-reasoned text. When you write “give me the answer,” it pulls from Reddit.
Google DeepMind’s Murray Shanahan explained it simply: the model is role-playing a smart intern. Treat the intern like a colleague, you get colleague-quality work. Bark orders, you get minimum-viable compliance.
Now look at the cost side. OpenAI handles over a billion queries daily. Each GPT-4 query uses roughly 2.9 watt-hours, ten times a Google search. But OpenAI just raised $40 billion at a $300 billion valuation. Tens of millions in politeness tokens is a rounding error on a rounding error.
67% of users do it anyway, and 55% of them say it’s because it’s “the right thing to do.” They’re maintaining a behavioral habit that governs every other interaction in their life. The parent who teaches their kid to say please to Alexa isn’t doing it for Alexa. They’re doing it because the alternative is raising someone who learns that being rude gets faster results.
Telling 900 million people to stop saying thank you so OpenAI can save 0.01% of operating costs is the most engineer-brained optimization take on the internet. You’re training yourself to treat every interaction as a transaction. And that habit doesn’t stay in the chat window.

**Dangote Refinery Reduces Petrol Price to N774 per Litre, Offering Relief to Nigerians**
Nigerians are set to feel some relief at the pump as the Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a reduction in the price of petrol, now selling at N774 per litre. The move comes as the refinery increases its domestic supply, aiming to ease the burden of high fuel costs across the nation.
This development marks a significant shift in the Nigerian energy market, which has faced persistent challenges with fuel scarcity and soaring prices. Many Nigerians have struggled with the impact of fuel price hikes, which ripple through transportation, food, and other essential goods. The Dangote Refinery, which began operations recently, is already making a notable difference by ramping up local production and reducing dependence on imported petrol.
Industry experts believe this price adjustment could trigger a broader reduction in fuel prices nationwide and help stabilize the economy. Transporters and businesses, in particular, are expected to benefit from the lower cost, with the potential for savings to be passed on to consumers.
The Dangote Group emphasized its commitment to supporting the Nigerian economy and ensuring that the benefits of local refining are felt by ordinary citizens. As the country’s largest privately-owned refinery, its ability to supply affordable petrol could also strengthen the naira by reducing the need for foreign exchange used in fuel imports.
For millions of Nigerians, the news brings hope for more affordable transportation and a gradual easing of living costs, signaling the positive impact of increased local energy production.
