Training a Language Learning Model is much easier than training to run a marathon.
You assemble your data, you set your parameters (depending on the scope, you do a bunch of other things), and then you click “Train”.
And it runs, for however long it needs to run, it runs.
It does its job, you walk away and let it work, let it run, let it train.
Everything we do today is not nearly as clean or as easy as clicking the “train” button – if it were, I’d be selecting different models and hitting “train” all the time.
Want to run a marathon? You’ve got to start moving.
Want that wood pile cleaned? You’ve got to start stacking.
Want to write better? Put fingers to keyboard.
Want to make your own wine? Start crushing grapes.
We all need a “train” button, but we don’t have one. LLMs have it easy and can do everything all at once; we can’t, we need to pick, choose, and commit.
Without your commitment, there is no training.
Train yourself to run that marathon that is in front of you.
