It bootstraps from the internet, including SO, but in fact they do have coders in house teaching it stuff: https://www.semafor.com/article/01/27/2023/openai-has-hired-...

Oh wow that's interesting, thanks for sharing! I thought that the value in today's LLMs comes from the wealth of "free" crowd-sourced answers online. It seems like OpenAI is trying to create more source material specifically for "basic coding", though I wonder how cost-effective that is in practice. Or effective in general, for that matter.
