> 500 bn parameter model

That solution has a compressed representation of half the internet.

NNs are "garabled nonesense" insofar as they try to generalise; insofar as they are search engines, they provide apparent sense by just repeating something in their database (= weights).

Google, likewise, returns joke explanations.

"The Internet" is much, much bigger than 500bn floats. The latest snapshot of archive.org has 505 billion web pages itself.
