Search tools now try to second-guess what I'm searching for. I'm searching for "tree" and it's returning results "three" and "true"
I mean if Levenshtein distance is considered relevance, "trash" is right there
I received an email inviting me to a webinar/talk by Chrys Heard and I thought it was a joke or an AI hallucination based on my name, but there really is someone by that name in infosec
Howdy, Chrys!
