Attempting to rewrite history and racism regardless of the race involved makes me uncomfortable yes. Do you disagree that Google had an agenda when they programmed their AI to do the things it does?

I don't use LLMs a lot, maybe once a week or so. But I always pick Phind as my first choice because it's not behind a login and I can use it without giving my phone number. Hopefully you'll keep it that way!

I want to write on paper more often, but one thing that keeps me from doing that is the feeling of a loss of privacy. I encrypt my notes on the computer. I like knowing that no one can read it - now or even when I am dead. Any suggestions?
