Sure but why not give me file name matches first instead of random pictures, since I started the search from Finder itself? Why try to outsmart the user?

I have no problem with searching pictures using keywords if it’s limited to the Photos app.

Taxi, bar, hotel, restaurant, are very common. Maybe because of tourism?

I have no idea what “kaput” means…

I find it interesting that people write Google queries in correct, often polite English as if there is something intelligent on the other side. When I try this query: "where mango grow washington" I seem to get decent results, but the human-sounding query does return garbage.

Perhaps the problem with Google is that it's trying too hard to convince people that it's smarter than it really is. I treat it as a stupid, mindless computer and it works fine most of the time.

I don’t understand how it’s possible to make money in the stock market unless you have inside information. I deeply suspect the whole game is rigged and there are ways to do insider trading without getting caught, and the real secret to be a successful trader is to find out how to join the club.

Somewhat unrelated: shouldn’t it be pronounced “Dvorjak”? That is how the other famous Dvorak (Czech composer) is pronounced.

Merits and criticisms aside, carbon offset has a striking semblance with the sale of indulgences practiced by the Catholic church in the middle ages. Some patterns of thought seem ingrained in us.

I’m not in the least worried about the supposed dangers of AI; I don’t see it causing major unemployment, nuclear armageddon, or anything particularly scary. However, I think the real danger with those chatbots is how people are becoming emotionally involved with them. This is clearly by design and it’s working extremely well with so many people.
