Just seeking what passes for human interaction in these end times. Film geek, comic book dork, Star Trek nerd, horror movie dweeb.
That is an Edward G. Robinson impersonation, actually, closed captioning person.

It stays with you, unlike so many offerings these days.
This wins

I do not expect to take it well in a decade when I am firmly in the age bracket of the original Star Trek cast round about Wrath of Khan.

"LLM's can produce PhD - level material" is a statement of fact, in the same way that "a lump of uranium can keep your tea warm." It's true: but the end-product is probably not the best use of the scientific fact, is it
