Asked it the following to test it:

What caused the cooling at the end of the cenezoic that lead to the glacial quarternary period?

Took a while, actively showed the source articles it was looking into while it was processing which were clickable. Here’s a pdf of the response which is long, and well referenced, pretty interesting IMO, but here’s the initial overview:

The cooling at the end of the Cenozoic Era — which culminated in the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary Period — is one of Earth’s most profound climate transitions. This was not a single event but a stepwise process driven by interconnected mechanisms operating over tens of millions of years. The primary cause was a long-term decline in atmospheric CO₂ (pCO₂), driven fundamentally by plate tectonic processes that altered the global carbon cycle. Oceanic gateway openings and orbital variations played important modulating roles.

Which my partner, whose taken some climate classes in college, said sounds right. If anyone thinks this is wrong please feel free to call it out.

Retrieval augmented generation

is way easier to search then:

a script that runs a search and then the LLM takes the output of that and reformats it into an answer.

So if people want to look into it further and research what it is, instead of taking some persons 1 sentence explanation, they can.

Ironically trying to search for that phrase would work better in a RAG then a standard key word search.

I figured that area would be full of extremely violent megastorms due to the heat differential.

Wouldn’t that be a non starter for life? One side would be perpetually baked and the other would be frozen.

Iran is just the testing ground, they’re doing over there what they want to do here but can’t… Yet

In japan there’s more of a spectrum of call girls who range from pretty young women who will come over to talk to you because your a lonely Otaku or old man, to outright sex work like we think of in the west. I’m guessing rates are cheaper for the companionship ones.
