   There's an added distinction; if you make a mistake, you are liable for it. Including jail time, community service, being sued by the other party etc. If an LLM makes a mistake? Companies will get off scot free (they already are), un

    for those of you using MOCA, what kind of bandwidth do you get? And what kit would you recommend? I ask, as my brother-in-law just finished a house where he had asked the contractor to put in internet cabling everywhere, and... drum roll..

    I've been on the fence about Kagi as a search engine, but if Orion comes to Linux and Android[0], I'd definitely seal the deal on the subscription. [0]hint hint, since not ALL of us are beholden to the Apple tax.
