Not Magic: How an AI Is Actually Built (Explained Over Breakfast)

Two people. One diner booth. One argument about whether AI is magic. Duncan says it's a recipe. Nevaeh wants proof. Over breakfast, they take apart how a large language model is actually built: the data it learns from, how text is chopped into tokens, how attention lets it connect words, what pre-training really does, how people teach it manners, and why bigger models suddenly do things nobody planned for. No jargon wall, no hype. Just a funny, honest argument that ends with the answer: it's not magic, and the real thing is more interesting. Runtime 4:29.
