This figure, 11,800 million miles (11.8 billion miles), does not appear in the financial statements. The only way to estimate it is to “eyeball” this chart. I used to do the eyeballing myself; now AI does it, and it is remarkably accurate.

As an aside, growth is first-order; growth in the growth rate is second-order. Human gene limits our ability to understand numbers at this scale.

For long-term investing, if the second-order term is still growing, explosive growth is only a matter of time. This is not investment advice.

Raising the difficulty. This is almost doable—not perfectly, but it only needs a little prompting.

A note for the record: ChatGPT o1-preview was only a little over a year ago. We went from “I can’t do that,” to skills, to lobsters, and now to needing no background at all. One day in AI is ten years in the human world.
