Hm, roundabout 84 authors of one "scientific" paper. I wonder if this says something about (a) the quality of its content, (b) the path were academic (?) paper publishing goes to, (c) nothing at all, or (d), something entirely else.

Just means you need a big machine and a lot of capital to make advancement. Take a look at any paper coming out of cern.
You should see physics. Stuff involving the large hadron collider can be pages of authors.

It costs so little to share the credit if someone was an asset.

I have been on far larger author lists :) There's probably a whole team for the training data generation and assessment, a whole team for the safety assessment (section 4), that stuff adds up.
It's a tech report. Fair enough to include the whole lab.
