The math that powers LLMs is pretty straightforward and definitely not conscious. If you don't understand it, but you're curious and want to learn, I made a simple walkthrough of the process using a snippet from one of Napoleon's early letters to Josephine

An AWS sales rep emailed just to neg me I guess.
The contact name they use in their template must be "Frederick (DO NOT CONTACT- not employed)".

I need these companies to hire a SINGLE person who even so much as grew up in northern Virginia. sorry but you guys have lost privileges to operate unsupervised by the east coast
