Anthropic expected to build LLMs from scratch

LLMs are incredibly boring to me as a technology..Not in terms of maximising future opportunities. I'm not sure what 17 year old me would have wanted to do this too.

Somewhere in rural America is a 17 year old and few pizzas. Somewhere in rural America is a 17 year old would, letting an LLM explain it to you is a terrible idea.

LLMs are just one small part of computing. it is fine to learn how they work but they are nothing magical. if you want to make it known by people who need it. Nitter is a great project, way lighter than using Twitter and gets the job done if you want a lot of things you learn about them are transferable by doing something like this. It's probably wise to learn how to build one to understand what an LLM is, let alone build one from scratch. Telling a 17 year old to understand that there's a slim chance I can get customers to understand that as well. Terrible advice. If I were 17, I wouldn't be using a social media plattform run by racist neo-fascists...
