Yes. So instead of a light weight “tokenization” now and very little curation and verification now the raw data, and no index of the raw data. It puts effort into finding the nouns and processes, embedded data, index it and convert to tokens. It attempts to make sure if it is talking about Moscow, Russia

This is not true. Mostly all instruments and detectors are designed only to find things that classic learning algorithms can understand. There are so many more things beyond that I had to invent larger numbers that make 10^100 look like zero. Tell him to check how sensors and detectors are designed. Critical problem in imaging
