alt Hacker NewsIt's hard for me to tell what is a bigger misspending of money - LLMs or Apollo... At least I have a direct access to LLMs. Not sure I would need a direct access to moon rocks though.

One is a footnote in history on the way to decent ML, and the other is the literal moon in the sky. Your comment must be dripping in sarcasm.
It seems quite plausible that if we hadn't done the Apollo program that we'd probably be about 10 to 20 years behind in semiconductors right now (not to mention other technologies).
