[ExI] LLM hyperbole

[Keith Henson]

,I find AIs to be verbose, but not always, nor do they always act
sycophantically. I had a long discussion with Claude on updating my mining
asteroids article  It turmed pit that the rate of attack of CO on asteroid
metal was too slow to work as a first concentration step. This was based on
melting the asteroid with an open-ended induction furnace and rolling the
metal into a thin sheet. This process is used to extract nickel from ores,
but I don't know how they do it.

With the wild rise in gold prices, it might be worth looking at this again.
