I am rebutting what the previous commenter said, sentence by sentence (almost), I don't know why that tells you that I'm not actually thinking about what they said though. Did I misunderstand or misrepresent something they said?

Oh I was never angry, I was enjoying the argument (maybe that makes me combative, oh well), and I was completely open to being proven wrong and thereby becoming more informed on the topic... alas...

Agree that it might not be the best, but seems like a fairly appropriate response for someone trying to back up their rhetoric with 'thousands of books out there'. How is it 'made to impress bystanders'?

No, what the person you responded to said was: > '..freely available and/or system supported fonts.' Not just 'system supported fonts' (whatever that means), and not just Calibri. That's why your 'use C

There are literally thousands of free font out there available for download.

How is using some of the thousands of freely available fonts out there even remotely the same as using Calibri for everything? You're making absurd comparisons and not being sincere.

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

You should write a an article/share some pics :) Wondering how it went overall, how hard parts were to find, how hard maintenance is - do you do it yourself? Do you need special tools?

How do you define 'art form'? Anything can arguably be an art form.

Well the dog brain and human brain are very different statistical models, and I don't think we have any objective way of comparing/quantifying LLMs (as an architecture) vs human brains at this point. I think it's likely LLMs

Almost everything we learn in schools, universities, most jobs, history, news, hackernews, etc is literally human-generated text. Our brains have an efficient structure to learn language, which has evolved over time, but the processes of ac

It doesn't add anything material to the discussion. It's equivalent to saying 'I worked on a closed source project and liked it, therefore open source model sucks.'

Arc and Orion are both closed source.
