What's the benefit? It appears that the outlook rejection was unintended. So against llm processing?

The embargo was enforced. This slightly mitigates scenarios where someone accidentally sends a document via email while it is under embargo.

well how much work did he really put into it?

It feels like making "Where the tokens land was checked against the table published in Scientific American in 1996 (Illinois Avenue: 3.18% published, 3.19% in my simulation)." a key point of the investigation doesn't see like a human choice

we could stick with the metaphor of keys. The modern web requires fancy ones capable of hundreds of notches. The company in question basically skipped the step of notches and just used the blank key

technically possible

Not just technically possible, as likely as getting any other random 116(?) digit number

i think this oversells the likelihood of it. the probability of any random 116 digit number having its first 115 digits be the number zero is much lower than that of it containing a much higher number of non-zero digits.

Feynman's license plate

Most people don't have specialised computing / software needs or uses. In fact, they're generally Overwhelmed by the current software landscape. They want less, not more tools.

And to them software is generally a not much more than a home-screen bookmark to some client that could be a website.

There will still be a need to distribute and exchange ressources, goods and services.

Real estate, food, energy, mobility.

That will be done with money. Or violence. Either way, a scary future to people when labor doesn't provide any value. Elon promises abundance, but what can he do against greed?

I am genuinely worried about violence, especially if people start losing their jobs due to automation.

Yep, it helps llms, and the same is true for libraries. Technically neither are necessary. Imagine an llm that's restricted to assembly.

I've heard chinese contains more information per token

Definitely — the language comes pre-tokenized!

Finally an advantage for Chinese after being penalised during the early stage of compute!
