I’ve heard that a Claude 4 model generating code for an infinite amount of time will eventually simulate a monkey typing out Shakespeare

It will have consumed the GigaWattHours capacity of a few suns and all the moisture in our solar system, but by Jeeves, we'll get there!

...but it won't be that impressive once we remember concepts like "monkey, typing, Shakespeare" were already embedded in the training data.

If we just asked Jeeves in the first place we wouldn't be in this mess.
