Curious about their actual product. Is pharma synthesis actually so subpar in gravity environments that low-Earth orbit synthesis is actually economically more practical? My understanding is that the low-gravity environment primarily affects crystal growth, which I'm not sure how great of an impact of somewhat higher quality crystals can bring relative to their cost.

This is a frankly racist and incredibly ignorant take. Besides those already mentioned:

Frank Yang Chien-Shiung Wu Yitang Zhang Andrew Yao Tak Wah Mak Peidong Yang

And others. Science is meant to be free of politics, and the United States needs to be a place where all the brightest minds can come and contribute, regardless of who came before.

What if an LLM generates absolute crap that then gets upvoted by bots?

But Google itself had and still is free. It's a service they provide to you without charge that, were it not to exist, your life would be almost immeasurably more difficult (as with any search engine). And most of the time it doesn't "take" from website owners; if anything, it generates more traffic for them.

When a model trains over Reddit, it may still provide a service that is free. But the way it's going, companies are charging money for access to those models and aren't generating traffic for the underlying training data/sites.

I listened to that podcast but didn't catch the part where he says he isn't that excited. When was that?
