Ironically that people use it to buy drugs. If it's anonymous, it's closer to the original intention of BitCoin: the masses of CPUs then GPUs can be considered a "paperclip moment" - runaway effects are real.

This comment reminds me of General Hammond from Stargate - it's refreshing when characters are written for competence and especially funny when they just do what a normal person would do.

Not to say they're comparable - both characters and actors are much loved.

It's because of "chunking" which human minds do as well. If you increase granularity, you increase permutations and required compute to match the same performance of existing systems.

GPT4's tokeniser for example made use of extended tokens for coding structures and with enough training on code was quite ahead of the rest for a while.

The tokeniser and its vocabulary makes a big difference.
