It's the marketing. I can't really blame people for thinking LLMs can do what they're advertised.

Yeah, and I have a hard time trusting a "de-google" os that requires I buy a phone directly from google. I want to be free from google entirely, and that includes not buying their hardware.

Then there's me, who mods games explicitly so I can hoard unused, but potentially useful items.

Yeah, turns out you can't realize your potential when healthcare is restricted. I was "smart" but "needs to try harder", and you really can't just "try harder" your way out of neurological problems.

Turns out that I've got some white matter hyperintensities my neurologist says is scarring from getting abused as a child, and I have a small tumor in my thalamus. I'm due for another MRI to see if the glioma has grown at all, so fingers crossed my insurance situation doesn't change between then and now, because I can't afford it otherwise.

The school district I grew up in called them 'monitors'. It's always neat when languages line up like this, because 'surveil' and 'monitor' mean the same thing in english.
