Screenshot of a quote: "Basically, a frontier model like OpenAI’s O1 is like a Ferrari SF-23. It’s an obvious triumph of engineering, designed to win races, and that’s why we talk about it. But it takes a special pit crew just to change the tires and you can’t buy one for yourself. In contrast, a BERT model is like a Honda Civic. It’s also an engineering triumph, but more subtly, since it is engineered to be affordable, fuel-efficient, reliable, and extremely useful. And that’s why they’re absolutely everywhere."
Prompt: Rewrite the Lyrics of "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" but then with the pronunciation of "data" and "s-q-l"/"sequel" Lyrics: Here’s a rewritten version of “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” with “data” and “SQL/sequel” as the focus: (Verse 1) You say “day-tuh” and I say “dah-tuh,” You like “S-Q-L,” and I like “sequel,” Day-tuh, dah-tuh, S-Q-L, sequel, Let’s call the whole thing off! (Verse 2) You say “schema,” and I say “shy-mah,” You like “query,” and I say “quar-ee,” Schema, shy-mah, query, quar-ee, Oh, if we can’t agree, we might just blow it all! (Bridge) But oh, if we stay together, We’d work through every query and byte! And oh, no matter the weather, The database of love feels so right! (Verse 3) You like “jiffies,” and I like “GIFs,” You like precision, and I like shifts, Jiffies, GIFs, oh what a tiff, Let’s just sort it all! (Outro) So, you say “day-tuh” and I say “dah-tuh,” You say “S-Q-L,” I still like “sequel,” But who cares how we call the syntax and terms, Let’s not call the whole thing off!
