I can ask the LLM to give me the rules for conjugating past tense verbs in Spanish, or I can ask it to quiz me until I have internalized them.

There were about 39,000 traffic fatalities last year in USA.
Waymos have about 90% fewer accidents/mile than human driven cars, give or take (with some caveats), so if they replaced all human drivers we'd expect about 4,000 deaths, give or take -- or about 35,000 lives saved.
