Language is language. To an LLM, English is as good as Java is as good as machine code to train on. I like to imagine if we suddenly uncovered a library of books left over from ancient aliens, we could train an LLM on it (as long as the symbols themselves are legible), and it would generate stories in the alien language that would sound correct to the aliens, even though the alien world and alien life are completely unknown and incomprehensible to us.

Modern journalism sucks. Can't use affirmative voice for anything. Everything is "alleged" this and "sources say" that. Even with a concluded court case that has found proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt - the fairest way that we as a humanity have settled on for determining the truth or falsehood of questions like this - they still won't say the words.
Gravity—the curvature of space-time—can’t stop changes in the curvature of spacetime from propagating outward.
This is false. If it were true, you could build a device to communicate from inside a black hole event horizon. By waving around a heavy ball you would create gravitational waves that a sensitive enough LIGO outside the black hole could detect. But this is impossible. You would create gravitational waves, yes, but they would fall towards the center singularity same as you, and will never penetrate and escape the event horizon.
Only because it's English and the model is already trained on a large corpus of English text, so it has some idea of what a "table row" is for example. It could learn the concept from reading assembly code from scratch, it would just take longer. Hell, even Lego bricks can be trained on! https://avalovelace1.github.io/LegoGPT/
