You're sober, a considerable achievement for a festive season!
BTW, that "preparedness" thing was not a joke. Look at the salary scale you can expect:
The maker of ChatGPT has advertised a $555,000-a-year vacancy with a daunting job description that would cause Superman to take a sharp intake of breath.
In what may be close to the impossible job, the “head of preparedness” at OpenAI will be directly responsible for defending against risks from ever more powerful AIs to human mental health, cybersecurity and biological weapons.
Did you find the Performance documentation? (You can hack the URL, s/???/405/, for the Moodle 4.5 version.)
It gives you the compulsory initial pointers before you enter the forum dedicated to this topic, the Hardware and performance forum. You'll find many informative past discussions there.
