60

More like three hundred (unless you mean how long it lasted).

that makes things almost filmic

His early books literally started with a visual description of the reader's imagination "camera" gradually focusing on Great A'Tuin, the Disc, whatever region the action was going to happen in, and so on.

Filmic is exactly what he was going for.

in like sg1 which is more realistic to use, we would need aliens to give us the tech, because we would never be able to conceive on our own.

Excuse me, we stole, I mean salvaged, most of that tech by ourselves, and we used it to kick goa'uld ass all over the galaxy (and, to be fair, they had stolen it first).

Sure, some aliens did give us some tech, but only because we saved their scrawny hyper-advanced asses from their own hubris because, unlike them, we could conceive of hitting things with a big stick, or shooting small but fast metal pellets at them using barely controlled explosions (you know what, disregard the metal pellet and controlled explosions part, just throw C4 at the problem until it goes away!).

Damn, I miss that series.

Well, some of it might manage to go out the window.

Most of that will probably hit another building, or a tree, or the ground, or something, and get absorbed (and permitted), but some of it might not hit anything solid and carry on into the atmosphere... where a good part of it will end up hitting a cloud, or a nitrogen atom, or a pigeon... but some might end up in space. And carry on for aeons, into the cosmos.

Same here (I was never one of the cool kids, though).

They're just like us!

LLMs are obligate yes-men.

They'll support and reinforce whatever rambling or delusion you talk to them about, and provide “evidence” to support it (made up evidence, of course, but if you're already down the rabbit hole you'll buy it).

And they'll keep doing that as long as you let them, since they're designed to keep you engaged (and paying).

They're extremely dangerous for anyone with the slightest addictive, delusional, suggestible, or paranoid tendencies, and should be regulated as such (but won't).
