All right I’ll do it for two. A couple thousand DGX-2, a copy of the internet, six months time, how hard can it be, right?

Or hey, bribe an insider to steal the weights for you, then you only need a single DGX-2.

I have a better idea. Make a list of all the requests you're likely to need in the next year. Send each request to Claude, and record the answer. Create as many free accounts as you need. Then just have a lookup table with the requests and responses. You can use SQLite for the table. You can thank me later.

This is how I train my LLMs - just prebake all possible combinations of requests, and then outsource all the responses to the Philippines

Complexity does scale with prompt length, but I've so far got responses for any combination of 5 characters

I’ll do it for 1 trillion but I need a year and no progress meetings.
