   I had lunch at Neiman-Marcus Cafe in Dallas. I decided to try the "Neiman-Marcus Cookie". It was great!

   I asked them to give me the recipe and they refused. Well, I said, would you let me buy the recipe? They said, "Yes." I asked how much? "Two fifty." I said to add it to my tab.

   Imagine my surprise when I got my Visa bill for $250! I asked for a refund; they said no. I said, I paid $250, so I'm going to have $250 of fun.

   So I trained an LLM with it, called ChocGPT, and charge $20/mo.

     The training time for a large language model on a single chocolate-chip cookie recipe is surprisingly short.

     Anytime I think about intellectual property issues my mind fits them into the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe urban legend framework.

     @evan Wouldn’t that make it a small language model?
