This needs to be on a t-shirt and I need to wear it.

Comparing current LLMs to the ENIAC is thought-provoking; I understand the eagerness to extrapolate in that direction. That being said, I don't think it will be linear or even logarithmic in progress. The current state of computing and technological advancement has become:

  1. Initial introduction or release
  2. Major hype and influx of greed money. <- we are here
  3. Failure to live up to the hype, resulting in the tech becoming a punchline and gobs of money lost
  4. Renaissance of the tech as its true potential is eventually realized, which doesn't match the original hype but ends up very useful
  5. Iteration and improvement with no clear "done" or "achieved" milestone, it just becomes part of society

So cool. We are on the cusp of very interesting times in exploration again.

Bennu's exterior were so loosely packed that if a person were to step onto the surface, they might sink in, much like a pit of plastic balls in children's play areas.

No they wouldn't, that thing barely as any gravity and that's why it's so loosely packed. But the visual is fun. Galactic ball pit!

Yeah the genie is already waaaay out of the bottle in the US. It would be logistically impossible to get rid of guns, nice as that would be. This is something both extremes refuse to accept, because they wouldn't have a cause or solution to rally around. No, Bubba, nobody's going to take your guns. No Stewart, we can't just ban guns and wash our hands of it. Other countries have indeed mostly eradicated firearms in normal society, but nowhere near on the scale that the US has.

To be fair I've been abusing with alcohol since my late teens. So I guess we're even now.

In my case, it was through no action of my own and merely bad luck. So the only "reason" would be bad luck or a shitty all-powerful deity.

"Everything happens for a reason"

The cancer disagrees.
