Keep hearing Jev is "useful" ... keep seeing it not deployed in production or graduating from pilot/POCs.

I feel like the meat proxy changed "and" to '&' here; LLMs don't use ampersands like that, presumably because it's not really grammatically correct.

But the rest of the phrase itself is very obvious AI slop.

Given FelonyBench, do we also have a FantasyBench?

Even if it does use your data with or without anonymization, it doesn't have to be intentional, it could just be a glitch, or a bug, or something we'll catch in the next update, it's all good man, just a normal computer error.
