I see the universe as an endless ocean of indifference. It does not care about my existence, nor will it ever. This void frees me. In knowing that life has no inherent meaning, I am no longer bound by others’ expectations or empty promises. My words, my actions, even my name will vanish in time, and that liberates me to live solely for the moments I choose.

Trying to figure out why Gemini AI in Gmail is so very bad. It seems to not have access to all of my email and whatever RAG-like thing they are doing is very stupid.
Here's Gemini saying my oldest email matching some keywords in 2021 is from March 2021. If I explicitly tell it to look in February 2021, it finds it. There's only 11 emails that match in all of 2021, it's not like I'm blowing up the context window.
