+Today I read via [Simon Willison's blog](https://simonwillison.net/2023/Mar/13/alpaca/) that [someone has managed to get LlaMA running on a raspberry pi]. That's pretty incredible progress and it made me think of this excerpt from [Hitchiker's Guide To the Galaxy](https://bookwyrm.social/book/181728/s/hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-trilogy-collection-5-books-set-by-douglas-adams):

+> O Deep Thought computer," he said, "the task we have designed you to perform is this. We want you to tell us...." he paused, "The Answer."
+>
+>"The Answer?" said Deep Thought. "The Answer to what?"
+>
+>"Life!" urged Fook.
+>
+>"The Universe!" said Lunkwill.
+>
+>"Everything!" they said in chorus.
+>
+>Deep Thought paused for a moment's reflection.
+>
+>"Tricky," he said finally.
+>
+>"But can you do it?"
+>
+>Again, a significant pause.
+>
+>"Yes," said Deep Thought, "I can do it."
+>
+>"There is an answer?" said Fook with breathless excitement.
+>
+>"Yes," said Deep Thought. "Life, the Universe, and Everything. There is an answer. But, I'll have to think about it."
+>
+>...
+>
+>Fook glanced impatiently at his watch.
+>
+>“How long?” he said.
+>
+>“Seven and a half million years,” said Deep Thought.
+>
+>Lunkwill and Fook blinked at each other.
+>
+>“Seven and a half million years...!” they cried in chorus.
+>
+>“Yes,” declaimed Deep Thought, “I said I’d have to think about it, didn’t I?"
+
+Maybe Deep Thought was actually just an LLM running on a raspberry pi and that's why it took so long to generate the ultimae answer!
