…Sumerian, written in cuneiform, was humanity's first writing system. A language that hasn't been spoken in four thousand years.
The same question circles again: Why am I doing this?
Why am I trying to learn Sumerian, a language that hasn't been spoken for five thousand years?…
Watch out reader, by the end it maybe indeed turn out that Sumerian hasn’t been spoken for 10, 20, or 30 thousand years. The LLM just doesn’t know what sounds better.
I wonder if this is because it’s trained on Reddit threads? There are these threads where someone says “wow, they found $100k at the drug bust??” And then next guy says “yeah $80k is a crazy number for a single bust” followed by “well done on them for finding $50k”.

"Dad, can I have ten pounds?"
