Who will read your 500 pages of AI docs? Or check your thousand edge case tests? Who will check the agent spawned off an agent? (That part reads like satire, honestly) The reason people are AI detractors isn't because they don't

So between the giant radiator per GPU and the diminished compute capacity, how much mass are we shooting up exactly? This just seems utterly infeasible. You're missing C) SpaceX engineers know it's a bad idea, but can't say

Why did Russia complain about the rights of the Russian minority in Ukraine? Why did Austria send Serbia an Ultimatum in 1914? Why did Japanese officers blow up their own railway in Manchuria in 1931? Why was Spain blamed for an accidental
