Be Sam Altman Start “OpenAI” dont’t contribute to research, try to turn OpenAI into a corporation to funnel billions into “better LLMs” (the Chinese already made a better model with a fraction of OpenAI’s budget)
I’m not fond of Elon but I get the Altman hate.
If you want to see the arrows and not format as a quote throw some backslashes in front of the less than signs.

Otherwise, if you want to get rid of the gaps between the quote lines then put less than signs on the empty lines.

i believe if you do a double space at the end of each line it also stops automatic word wraping. Cute little trick. IDK why it works that way, it’s kind of stupid, but whatever.
Less Than points to the left < (shape of an L), while Greater Than points to the right > (I got nothing other than it’s not an L).
I believe it’s because we read from left to right, so the prominent number is on the left (I.e., 8 is less than 10 = 8 < 10).
Anyways, great advice! Carry on!
😊
You are right! The funny thing is I was trying to think of it that way and got it backwards anyway. Not enough mental RAM left after work for that kind of thing, apparently.
Oh nice, I’ve been using these \ things, we’ll see if it’s even rendered here
Shoot, there’s another way that involves turning the entire comment into plaintext code but I can’t remember the method.

Fair. My statement with historical context would be along the lines of “I’m not fond of Goebbels but I get the Speer hate”.
