You’re right that the use cases are very real. Double checking (just kidding never would check in the first place) privacy policies (then actually reading(!) a couple lines out of the original 1000 pages)… surfacing search results even when you forgot the specific verbiage used in an article or your document…

Do you also see some ham-fisted attempts at shoehorning language models places where are they (current gen) don’t add much value?

The Strange Origins of TrueCrypt, ISIS’s Favored Encryption Tool

By Evan Ratliff for The New Yorker (paywall)

In isis’s training and operational planning, Callimachi reported, the group appeared to routinely use a piece of software called TrueCrypt. When one would-be bomber was dispatched from Syria to France, Callimachi writes, “an Islamic State computer specialist handed him a USB key. It contained CCleaner, a program used to erase a user’s online history on a given computer, as well as TrueCrypt, an encryption program that was widely available at the time and that experts say has not yet been cracked.”

Assuming that’s disabled -

experienced folks can get caught (e.g. maybe waking up before dawn or something)

Can be a good reminder, a little humbling!

Chalk-free edit, thanks @[email protected]

Probably < choke v. + full adj. (with an underlying sense ‘full to the point of choking’), in later use (especially in α forms) probably reinforced by association with chock n.¹ and chock v.¹

Agreed on influencing say influencers (e.g. decision makers in corporate IT for example who presumably would be somewhere on here)

Prob super imperfect but with an iPhone:

Control iPhone with the movement of your eyes - Apple Support

Possibly more mature:

Use Voice Control on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMGXXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives. Inspired by Ben Wallace, I made a bot that crawled YouTube and found 5 million of these videos! Watch them below, ordered randomly.
