Apocalypticism will always be in fashion.

Yeah, albedo of an object might be described as the true color of a thing, if you take away the shading, reflectivity, and metallicity.

Bezos said they could extend the transfer window in his recent EverydayAstronaut video, so I’m assuming they’ve already run the numbers.

Asking that question is the first step people need in order to finally come to that conclusion. We all just completed the process a loooooong time ago.

Our current campaign has a recurring mook named Qarl who the party has killed several times… somehow he keeps showing up every time they square away against the baddies. There’s a little riot every time they find out he’s back!

At least he gets to leave the room for this mission, eh?

By expending the booster they can buy extra time for the transfer window, due to the extra delta v. Hope it doesn’t come to that though.

Sure, go for it. But good luck paying an army of copywriters to summarize every article you read.

That’s not what I’m implying. What I’m saying is that wasting time and effort on quality is pointless when the threshold for success is low.

For example, I could use aerospace quality parts (perfectly machined to micron-level tolerances) to build a toaster. However, while this would not increase the performance meaningfully, the cost would be orders of magnitude greater. Instead I can use shitty off-the-shelf parts because it doesn’t really make a difference.

Maybe in other words, engineering tolerances apply to LLMs too. They’re crude devices, but it’s totally fine if you have a crude problem.

From a certain point of view anyway…

You know how all the Jedi died? Well the good news is that Anakin survived.

One of my kids was interested and the other was completely horrified. They’re not doing a great job at targeting their audience.
