You make it too easy:

2026 - 1994 = 32.

32,000 years ago is approximately 29976 BC.

Wow. So, you're saying between BB and BC?

Shut up, StarMaker, also you're not funny.


18262 days is 50 years of calendar days,
365 days/year x 50 years + 12 leap days, basically
for an idea of making a new computer epoch
at Jan 1 2020 instead of Jan 1 1970.

A million seconds is  1.65 weeks.

A billion seconds is 32 years.

A trillion seconds is 32000 years.

Using US definitions of "billion" and "trillion".

Let me put it this way...

with Ai doing Math..

eventually

the Math people would be
UNABLE to verify Math.

It's the death of Mathematicians.

It's no longer...Math, is it?


Ai will cause mathematicians to...die.

How To Get A Million Dollar Grant!

Let Ai build you a million dollar grant!

(throw in some Ai math)

I think I will create a grant to build a bomb that can blow up the
planet Venus.

Why blow up Venus???? To move the planet Mars into the...habital zone.


I can show you the Ai Math, but nobody here would have the ability to
verify it.

It depends on what is meant by trillion and billion.

1 trillion, short scale, is 10^12.
1 trillion, long scale, is 10^18.

1 billion, short scale, is 10^9.  It is also called "milliard" in the
corresponding languages (French; German: Milliarde).

1 billion, long scale, is 10^12.
