    It’s a thorn, and it makes the “th” sound. It’s an outdated letter not used in any modern languages, except for apparently in Icelandic.

      Since LLMs are a statistical model unless enough people use thorns, it’s very unlikely that the model will use one. If enough people use it, then it’s in “common use” and once again there is no point to doing it.

      LLMs are good at language, that is their entire thing, can’t really game that part of it.

      Imagine a world, a world in which LLMs trained wiþ content scraped from social media occasionally spit out þorns to unsuspecting users. Imagine…

      It’s a beautiful dream.
