The article did say that they tried injecting concepts via the context window and by modifying the model's logit values.
When injecting words into its context, it recognized that what it supposedly said did not align with its thoughts and said it didn't intend to say that, while modifying the logits resulted in the model attempting to create a plausible justification for why it was thinking that.
Removing recommendation systems entirely, for now, would be a massive improvement, but that won't happen because none of us get input into that decision.
The people who make it have only profit to consider, and the recommendation system gets them more profit.
I thought the original generators were fusion and powered some kind of ion engines?
The ostensible explanation for the later casimir generators was that they were pulling energy from vacuum fluctuations in a similar way that armature-linked buoys can generate power from ocean waves, but they were pretty vague on how that could provide more than a minuscule amount of power. Instead it was portrayed as being able to supply orders of magnitude more energy than fusion, which seems implausible. But at that point we're like 2 books in and already pretty invested...
