Space Opera's not really my genre but I enjoyed Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton some years ago.
Read by myself and the rest in audiobook read by boring John Lee walking the dog. But I finished it and several conceptes have stayed with me since.
But that's the first IQ test.

Take in this picture for cosmic insignificance, and then check out what JWST did a couple of years ago.
No, the stars you see are all in our galaxy. The most visible galaxy (to the unaided eye) is Andromeda.

The quote about books being a mirror reflecting genius or idiocy seems to apply.
I see LLMs a kind of hyper-keyboard. Speeding up typing AND structuring content, completing thoughts, and inspiring ideas.
Unlike a regular keyboard, an LLM transforms input contextually. One no longer merely types but orchestrates concepts and modulates language, almost like music.
Yet mastery is key. Just as a pianist turns keystrokes into a symphony through skill, a true virtuoso wields LLMs not as a crutch but as an amplifier of thought.
How do we harness LLMs’ potential while rigorously mitigating harm?
jms is such a treasure. Listening to his autobiography, narrated by Peter Jurasik, is wholeheartedly recommended.
Or, in 2012, I torrented the then whole discog of a British duo called Autechre that I liked a track from on the soundtrack of the film 'Pi'.
12 years later, I have several vinyls, bought every release on multiple [streaming] services/shops, have been to one concert in '16... still cannot get enough and listen to their new releases all the time.
Funny to think about it this way, how a handful of beats in a movie can open you up to a world unseen, just gotta follow the tracks...
