Lol, sure, just read a blog post and you'll understand how a car works....It's very simple....

Just like how reading a math book doesn’t teach you math, why do they make us read anyway? (Sarcasm) if reading a blog post didn’t teach someone how a car works how come it “can” work for next token predictors

Mine was sarcasm. People who actually understand cars have built them. Until you build something, you don't understand it.

Now you’re claiming people don’t understand unless they build something.

Boy, oh boy, do you keep digging your logic hole that much deeper.

As mentioned earlier, Sam thanks you for your obfuscation efforts while his equity keeps going up. The swindle continues.

I'm not the one hiding behind a fake name.

If you want to understand how this stuff works, there are totally decent books about building them from scratch. It's not that hard, and you'll likely find it interesting. Sebastian Raschka and Nathan Lambert have good books out, and the Allen Institute has available all the code and data they have used for several projects.

Now a fake name accusation is thrown by someone with three first names.

Keep digging that hole, I’m sure you’ll surface somewhere with some sunshine.

Lol isn't this what llms do? Did you not just undermine your entire argument?
