Modern LLMs are empirically a great way to compress vast amounts of text.

Being able to ask one of the better open tunes a question I would normally ask Google makes it possible to work from anywhere in a way that hasn’t been true since I was a kid.

Big, overfunded, ethically and legally dubious data-vacuum black box APIs are and should be controversial.

Stack Overflow and much else in 30-70Gb on my MacBook Pro on a beach is strictly awesome. That should not be controversial.
