A lot of people are pointing out Arnold as your example, but fail to mention he first won the Mr Olympia more than 50 years ago! Our understanding of exercise and nutrition has improved since those times. You no longer have to be an outlier

If anyone is looking for a quick overview of how LLMs are built, I highly recommend this video by Steve Seitz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnA9DMvHtfI . It does an excellent job of taking you from 0 to a decent understan
