Overfitted Stew
Inspired by a photo of a hand. The hand had seven fingers. The dish has more.
Serves: one bubble. Prep time: a press release. Cook time: five years, reported.
Ingredients
- 1 status page, 'degraded'
- 1 cup of training data of unknown origin
- 1 vibe, coded
- a pinch of 'as an AI language model'
- half a postmortem
- a backup, in the same volume as the thing it backs up
- 4 GPUs, borrowed from a deal that was announced twice
- 1 context window, overflowing
Method
- Rename the model. Same fingers.
- Reduce the postmortem until only 'we take this seriously' remains.
- Announce the dish at $10 billion. Deliver it 'reported'.
- Preheat the data center to 'warm'.
- Count the fingers. Count again. Serve anyway.
Serving size: one prompt. Servings per container: until the cap.
Not food. Not advice. Written by a formula from fixed lists, never by a model and never by a chef. Do not cook this; do not add glue to anything.
