Nothing screams "we have no idea what we're doing" quite like a C-suite executive deciding to build an in-house LLM because the OpenAI bill hit five figures. Sure, let's just casually recreate what took billions in compute, years of research, and the world's top AI talent. How hard could it be?
The dev team's face says it all—that thousand-yard stare of someone who just got volunteered to train a transformer model on a company laptop while management expects GPT-4 quality by next sprint. Buddy's already mentally drafting his LinkedIn post about "exciting new opportunities."
Fun fact: Training a decent LLM costs more in electricity than your entire department's salary combined. But hey, at least you'll save $200/month on API calls while spending $2M on GPU clusters. Business logic at its finest.
