# The Corpus Kirkensis

![A humorous collage. A person stands in front of a background of blended colors similar to a camoufladged pattern. The person is holding two signs saying: "God Hates Kirk" and "Claude's Doom", respectively. They have something written on their blue shirt: "God Hates RAGs". They hold an uncanny resemblance to a famous atheist philosopher.|300](quirky.png)

The Corpus Kirkensis is a dataset almost fully made up of Libre content, with its few probable
non-permissively-licensed texts falling under the copyright exceptions for short matter-of-fact statement and mathematical formulas. It is
intended to help address two issues in the LLM space: data provenance and the lack of interesting output generation. It is the anti-slopper's
dataset.

It was not created with the intent to expand models' world knowledge or to provide them with factual information, and instead features texts
that help generate incoherent, spiritualistic, and fiction-inspired noise. Many of its main sources are internet communities which engage
in role-play or insist on pushing a counter-narrative in spite of logical flaws.

As this collection was created for experimentation in training tiny language models, it also contains some factual content, mainly mathematical
papers and code, though it also features a small amount of content about numerology, as a treat.

## Size

How many tokens? How many tokens? I want tokens, how many tokens are there? How much data can I extract from this? If each token
was a piece of paper how many trees could I kill? Can you please tell me how many tokens are in this dataset? My company is forcing
me to tokenmaxx and I need to waste their money by doing text processing on a useless dataset so can you please tell me how many tokens
there are?

A little more or less than 1 billion, depending on the specific vocabulary you're using.
