Google Says a Chip in Orbit Wrote This
Google says an AI model wrote three lines on a chip in orbit: "Blue marble below. Data streams in silent grace. Starlight feeds my core." We ran the same family of open models, Gemma 4, on a Mac mini: four sizes, two prompts, 160 poems. With a prompt The Register printed, the two smallest sizes opened on those exact words 13 times out of 40. We never got the whole poem, so we did not reproduce it, and our test says nothing about the chip in orbit.
