It was a joke, and I was laughing when I told the reporter, but it's not obvious to me if it comes across as a joke the way it was reported.

But then it's also one of those jokes which has a tiny element of truth to it.

So I think I'm OK with how it comes across. Having that joke played straight in MIT Technology Review made me smile.

Importantly (to me) it's not misleading: I genuinely do believe that, given a post-apocalyptic scenario following a societal collapse, Mistral Small 3.2 on a solar-powered laptop would be a genuinely useful thing to have.
