    Right, so the plan is to spend 20 years and 40 petawatt hours building a machine to answer the Great ℚuestion of what we should do about climate change. If it works, the answer will be “you should’ve stopped burning fossil fuels twenty years ago.”

        Repeat until a machine that can create God is built. Then it’s God’s problem.

        But it must be a US God, otherwise China wins.

            Then the middle eastern god will blow up the indian utopia because he is bored and the british fungus space god will rule over the remains.

      The model will just go “42” on and on and it’ll be the first decent joke a neural network produces. It’ll be worth it in a way.

        I could absolutely see an LLM telling us that 6 times 9 is 42 unless there’s special tinkering to prevent it.
