I have reached a place where I genuinely don't care about anyone seeing my browser history.

FBI: "Mr. JoMiran, did you spend an hour browsing through Peggy Hill cosmic horror hentai?"

Me: "Meh. I found most of the tentacle detail work lacking and the exaggerated breast size off-putting."

I got mine from Dr. Dick Chopp.

It's unbelievable how much hate for LTT there is on this platform.

They have a huge reach and tremendous influence, but are not always conscientious, careful, and thorough as they should be given their sway. Still, that doesn't justify the vitriol.

The law firm will gloss over as much as it can do safely, but if there was clear evidence of wrongdoing, they would have to report it or risk severe consequences. I am not familiar with Canadian regulations so I cannot comment on what those consequences would exactly be, but there would definitely be some.

...yet that is exactly the trap Google is falling into again.

Every time. It'd be funny if it didn't mean people constantly being punished and losing their jobs for errors made at the executive level.

Due to the nature of our work, my firm has had early access to most LLMs including Bard (now Gemini). I might be short on imagination but I honestly cannot see how LLM general search implementations can ever be fixed. There is too much garbage data for any system to be able to intelligently parse and the results of our tests were laughable. Now, if you offer LLM search that is restricted to curated datasets like "The Library of Congress" or peer reviewed scientific papers, I can see the value in that. You'll probably still have to triple check your results, but at least it can get you 80% of the way there rather than sending you in the wrong direction.

EDIT: For context, our clientele are all enterprises with very large, mission critical systems. They are not the type to use some buggy trinket just because it's new and cool.

Sounds like the plot to a porno parody of The Terminator.

Very strong Simon Stålenhag vibe. The lighting, color palette, and overall style is just about identical.

My wife and I were piss poor and getting finance degree at a third rate state college. I was paying my way with PC support. One day I spent money I didn't have to buy a Wndows NT certification book and used the university's T1 line to pirate NT 4.0 for myself and MS SQL and Oracle 7 for my wife (I also bought a CD of Red Hat Halloween). Almost thirty years later we literally saved a presidential election and are the ones keeping significant parts of the US infrastructure from falling apart. All thanks to piracy.

I always opt for Pop!_OS if NVidia is in the mix.
