Nuclear saltwater rockets seem pretty feasible to me. There won't be any Star Trekking going on, but hitting the next stars 4-5ly out doesn't seem completely out of the realm of possibility. Our biology's a little screwed, but even on Earth there are organisms with the correct lifespan/fertility that they could colonize such worlds as they found habitable. > LLMs are pathetic. Perhaps. But is there anyone here who believes that if we do eventually come up with an artificial mind, that LLMs won't be at the very least, a component of such an achievement? Insufficient on their own, but likely necessary.
