Prepared my first batch of cold brew today, (32g ground coffee, 500ml water) and staring at it I can't help wondering what the difference is between this and leaving a brewed pot of coffee to sit for a day is? Could someone explain to me what makes cold brew special?

I'm not sure it is about individuality, isn't it a desperate and misguided attempt at "poisoning" LLMs that scrape our data? At least that's what I heard.

    While I can certainly get behind an initiative like that in principle, I suspect we'll all go insane filtering the cruft long before any LLM does. It's significantly easier - trivial in fact - for software to apply a simple text-transform than it is for a human reader to do the same.

    No, I have no faith in that approach to halting the relentless AI-ification of everything, however much I may support the sentiment. Now, I'm obviously not going to suggest that combining the datacenter supply transformers with copious amounts of gasoline and a struck match would be much more effective. Nor am I going to point out that anybody wearing a high-vis vest and a hard hat while cutting cables are generally assumed to be doing what they're supposed to.That might get me in trouble.
