The answer is most likely “the speedforce”. The amount of handwaving used to justify going fast in these movies are overwhelming.

Yeah, I think of that every time somebody starts talking about fallout shelters, space stations or bases on the moon or Mars. It’s definitely not a solved problem.

That was the biosphere 2 experiment. Turns out it’s very difficult to sustain the plants without the rest of the planet.

“Do you have any questions for us?”

“You have three engineers in one room. The order comes to let one go. Who do you let go and why?”

Faking personal interest as a ritual greeting between business types. It’s about as real as the greasy laughter they use for each other’s often misogynistic tinted jokes when the managers gather.

There be lightning in the internet cloud, and because of the thunder your computer can’t hear the cloud no more.

Parameters are even more. A quick search tells me:

ChatGPT-4 is estimated to have roughly 1.8 trillion parameters

Hundred billion circles should be close enough

Sounds more like preparing for a lot of Quiet Firing (harassing people so they quit) when the AI bubble starts to deflate or pop.

You’re never saved in the trolley problem. You’re only saved for later.

Usually people know better than blowing up the hype for one iteration this much and act like it’s the second coming. There will be diminishing returns but instead a stairway to heaven is promised.

It starts to feel like one last attempt to hang on to the old system, and if this fails the house of cards crumbles and China takes the lead in tech.
