@codinghorrorJeff Atwood to create an LLM you must first create the internet. Then you must scrape LibGen, StackExchange, Reddit, Wikipedia, etc. using official Meta employee laptops, and comment in official memos about how uncomfortable this makes you feel.

This reminds me of how they excavated a property owned by Ben Franklin and found numerous human corpses. He was likely doing medical experiments, which at the time required paying sketchy dudes to exhume the recently deceased. "Franklinstein" lol.
