One Token = 4.4 Bytes: Why That’s a Problem for AI

Picture this: You’ve built a brilliant AI system, poured billions into training it, and it’s almost fluent in human language—except it keeps tripping over typos, emojis, and basic math. Why?

What Happens When Time Flows Both Ways?

You’ve probably never seen an egg un-crack itself. Or coffee spontaneously leap from a mug back into a pot. That’s because we all live by the “arrow of time”—the one-way street where things age, crumble, melt, and decay. But here’s the twist: the laws of physics don’t actually require time to move forward.
