"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If each book has a finite number of pages with a finite number of lines with a finite number of characters, then theoretically the number of books is finite and therefore also the number of shelves, walls, and rooms required to hold them.

Each book is four hundred and ten pages of forty lines, each line of eighty characters.

So given 32 characters (including letters and punctuation), the total number of possible books = 32^80×40×410^ = 32^1,312,000^ = yeah, you're right, that's incalculable...

But whatever it is, you can divide it by 640 to get the total number of necessary rooms!

It'd be a great thing to dovetail into something like nepenthes or iocaine, though! Let the AI crawlers train themselves on that!
