RE: https://thepit.social/@peter/117031792117588994 I maintain that the reason the LLM search stuff gets so much attention in enterprise is that enterprise search has been so bad for so long, just about anything would be better. The crass inefficiency of LLM-based search doesn&#39;t matter because it gives back semi-useful results, unlike pretty much *everything* that came before it. This is not praise for LLM-based search. It&#39;s a indictment of previous search setups. (Looking at y...

&quot;What&#39;s more, because the arc of history was supposed always to bend toward progress, even destructive or immoral actions could be exculpated as likely to be eventually &#39;vindicated by history&#39;. In the ethics of imperialism, then as now, final judgement is always deferred to the future.&quot; Great quote from Fara Dabhoiwala&#39;s latest book.

Fara Dabhoiwala&#39;s &quot;What is Free Speech?&quot; is a great book. I&#39;m sure I will read it again. I&#39;m not a free speech absolutist. In fact, I think an absolutist approach is harmful. But of course, there&#39;s a lot of nuance there. Put basically, I think free speech need serious guardrails and must acknowledge that context matters much more than it is currently considered in the US-style approach (which gets imposed on nearly everyone else because of what...

To me, this is reputation destroying. I remember turning to Ars Technica for great content about computer hardware. Then it became news-y and went a bit questionable at times. Until this, I&#39;d still consider them mostly reliable. Now, they are not. They have crossed a boundary. They can come back, but it will not be easy. I can forgive, but I won&#39;t forget. https://arstechnica.com/staff/2026/02/editors-note-retraction-of-article-containing-fabricated-quotations/
