Came for: "A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing."

TFA was actually about leaps of intuition, sadly.

One of the experiments I've heard proposed around here is to somehow create an LLM from all text up to 1980 or 1990 and see if it can get back to making itself.

This tracks for me as someone making keeps of intuition in little-explored areas.

I just don't see any of the LLM users around at all. Clearly some force is guiding them all away from thinking any of the "leap of faith" thoughts that I am thinking.
