I think you're right about Laya (and confirmation bias).

But like you said, at the end of the day he's just a rando.

He's not asking for $40m, not saying "I made ChatGPT, but i hate it, so I built the next big thing". Not claiming to co-invent RLHF.

Laya is just noise. Jev's bullshit affects me today - I see people injecting it into the codebases where it has no place.
