Mars colonization

The purpose of life is to survive and spread so it makes sense to colonize Mars. But this can involve mechanical life, it need not involve human life. 

LLMs today

LLMs currently are a system for learning* large complex functions from example data. Currently those functions do not represent very long temporal sequences.** They are also extremely energy inefficient.***

* approximating

** i.e., there is limited short term memory. This somewhat limits the tasks these LLMs are good for. 

*** this is a rather brute force approach
