(h) "wtfrack are you talking about wtfrack do you mean here ok i've got much closer to it "make helmets out of food. then feed the helmets to a lion cub." this is what [boss?] likes cause he thinks of building as being like self-growing

[on phone with language model]: "look, i've got a pile of helmets right here already, and i need a lion. they're not made of food. there isn't a lion cub. can't you help me out?" [phone, language model]: "are you presently in africa?"
