Stupid question: I have 400000 ebooks (yup pirated ones) what happens if I build an LLM with this?



You'd still ask stupid questions?


You would have a net worth of 1bn


Depends on the parameter count.

Too high? Straight to jail.

Too low? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

You also need $100m to train it


Build Chappie.


Nothing.


You go to jail forever.


What do you imagine could happen?
