From "can't write coherent text" to complaining a 2B model can't run a training pipeline in 10 minutes

cephaloform jokes about shifting expectations: a few years ago the complaint was that models couldn't write coherent text at all; now he's annoyed that a 2B model can't reliably design and run a full optimizer and training script for a language model using only the shell in under 10 minutes — a neat measure of how fast both small-model capability and user expectations have moved.
