Comparing current LLMs to the ENIAC is thought-provoking; I understand the eagerness to extrapolate in that direction. That being said, I don't think it will be linear or even logarithmic in progress. The current state of computing and technological advancement has become:

  1. Initial introduction or release
  2. Major hype and influx of greed money. <- we are here
  3. Failure to live up to the hype, resulting in the tech becoming a punchline and gobs of money lost
  4. Renaissance of the tech as its true potential is eventually realized, which doesn't match the original hype but ends up very useful
  5. Iteration and improvement with no clear "done" or "achieved" milestone, it just becomes part of society

So cool. We are on the cusp of very interesting times in exploration again.

Bennu's exterior were so loosely packed that if a person were to step onto the surface, they might sink in, much like a pit of plastic balls in children's play areas.

No they wouldn't, that thing barely as any gravity and that's why it's so loosely packed. But the visual is fun. Galactic ball pit!

If you're on MacOS, Orion is really good. Zero telemetry, built-in ad blocker, supports both Firefox AND Chrome extensions.

I pay for it, it's worth every penny.
