04:07 schestowitz; "Thanks for an interesting article, Rose. Speaking from the attorney side, I think that LLMs will play a huge and increasing role in our industry. I have heard many tech-industry insiders claim - rightly or wrongly - claim that generative AI (of which LLMs are of course just one aspect) constitutes a paradigm shift as great as the widespread adoption of the internet. That may prove to be inaccurate, but if the impact of generative AI

04:07 schestowitz; is even detectable comparable to the overall impact of the internet then it seems crazy to think that it won't have a major impact on the industry.My feeling is that patent attorneys are largely "small-c" conservative when it comes to new technology, and my worry is that the speed of development will outpace firms' ability to adapt. GPT-3 really only came to public prominence about a year ago and its abilities

04:07 schestowitz; today are vastly greater than those then. What will it be in 5 years? And yet how many firms have an "AI" plan - or even plan to have a plan? My view is that generative AI will inevitably play a major supporting routine attorney work - drafting boilerplate, writing up case law and summarising documents for sure, and perhaps if the legal framework can be defined, drafting whole specifications also. Certainly we

04:07 schestowitz; will find small applicants seeking protection based already-filed specifications that have been generated by AI, but those same applicants probably wouldn't be using a quality-focussed firm anyway. Could this even push the overall quality of the industry up, forcing an "evolve or die" approach on firms pushing quantity over quality?"

10:52 schestowitz;

10:52 schestowitz; If there's one thing in the Plasma desktop stack that needs work, it's the search functionality. Why? Lemme elaborate. I like to use all of Plasma's wonders - Activities, Vaults, Krunner. And I like to use them efficiently. For instance, I like to create separate desktop activities, and then also store files inside Vaults. For various reasons, including privacy, I like to keep some of t

10:52 schestowitz; hese "domains" unindexed in the search. Plasma supports this requirement, quite well. But then, there be bugs.

10:52 schestowitz; Plasma's search engine, Baloo, has always been tricky for me. It would work or not work, consume too much CPU, the index would be corrupt, the search results partial or broken. Over the years, I rarely had much luck getting it to work. Now, on the upgraded Slimbook Pro2, with Kubuntu 22.04, it FINALLY works. But it took me a little while to tame it. Specifically, it seemed to ignore my

10:52 schestowitz; requirement not to return search results for specific file types, and yet, it did. We shall discuss the problem now.

10:55 schestowitz; Tennis and badminton racquets look pretty simple; just string woven around a hoop like a basket, right?

13:16 schestowitz; The reality, unfortunately, is quite different. Beneath almost all of the testimony, the manifestoes, the blog posts, and the public declarations issued about AI are battles among deeply divided factions.
