  • People that use LLMs as search engines run the very high risk of “learning” misinformation. LLMs excel at being “confidently incorrect”. Not always, but also not seldomly, LLMs slip bits of information into a result that is false. That confident packaging, along with the fact that the misinformation is likely surrounded by actual facts, often convinces people that everything the LLM returned is correct.

    Don’t use LLM as your sole source of information or as a complete replacement for search.

    EDIT: Treat LLM results as gossip or as a rumor.






  • I’m technically a millionaire, as many people who have worked a white collar job for 30+ years are. That’s calculated by the value of all your assets, not cash on hand. So if you bought a home in Austin in 2001 for $200k, you’re likely, technically, a millionaire in 2026.

    In 2022 I got cancer (clean now) and I saw the medical bills. If I ever become ill for a prolonged period of time, my wife and I will be bankrupt well within two years. If the dollar collapses and takes our savings with it, we’ll be bankrupt much, much sooner.

    IMHO, unless you are a Billionaire or multi(50+) millionaire, I don’t think a care free “retirement” is in the cards.





  • I did. No worries, I found a different share of it. I know exactly who that dipshit is. I lived a few years in PR as a teen (and hoodlum) and ran into plenty of pigs just like him. I recognize the false “I’m a bad ass” attitude and mannerisms, and the bullshit threats. Notice how he looks away. Completely full of shit. He’s one step removed from being a patrol car driver in Carolina (town in PR). New generation, same garbage.
