Are there humans purely trained on libre datasets?  I've learned english
mostly from proprietary movies and books.  Is this email and any of my
organic 100% Human Stupidity produced code tainted?

Sure, if you have colossus-1 level hardware.  Please feel free to make
your own models.

Sure.

If you think anthropic/openai/whatever stole any code, please sue them.

Please, don't use LLMs to reply to me.  Let's keep it Human Stupidity
