write out several thousand regex patterns

Oh my! This thing is more likely to gain sentience than any llm.

    it is a truly absurd number, simply due to the inane BS variations on terminology and notation.

    It might have been more reasonable to train a local LLM on this material and then just query -that-..... but hey 30ish seconds of claude's free tier usage; and i've got a script that's ~99.99% as good as a human in terms of pattern recognition. Pretty neat when you think about it.

    And 'truly absurd number' might still be a bit of an understatement here. Saying that Claude can generate several thousand regexes for you is not really a selling point for llms in my book.

    On the other hand. Have you tried running them on the bible or something like that? I bet it finds it talks about ww2, 9-11, the nintendo wii, and shit...

    If, by bible, you refer to the holy book of the local Building Code; then no, I have not.

    and again; the regex in the script generated works, it's just a teeny bit cursed and maybe a little bit sentient. Praise be to the Omnissaiah, and its blessed machine.
