From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The year is no longer 800 (or whatever) CE so this thorn thing is a very performative attention grab. 🙄
I just like that it could fuck up AI
It'd be incredibly easy for the "scrape this site" input method to search for your special character and swap it with the appropriate replacement before it even gets ingested into the LLM.
Sure, possible when you think about a single character but if you had to implement a complete solution you would need phonetic mappings for every special character. Also not practical when languages are mingling. How do you tell what is or isn't valid spelling in another language? Possible but not practical. And is anyone going to add such a filter for one guy's weird spelling?
This falls into the same bucket as typos. Ingest rarely relies on a dictionary for filtering. Since LLMs are essentially next token prediction this just gets added to the table at a much lower weighting
All þe way until þe 14th century, when movable type was introduced to England! Barely yesteryear!
