I once pirated a book because I didn't want to get it from another room.

I was watching "In Bruges" on TV, and couldn't understand the version of English they spoke, so I downloaded it with subtitles and watched that.

Using a state of the art local LLM and an agent to ask it to find all files with a certain extension, because I always forget how to use the find command on linux and I can't be bothered to read it.

No that would be just in the current folder, I needed to search recursively

find -name "*.txt"

Iirc. Though it might want a regular expression instead of a wildcard.

That would work for a single directory.

Most file managers have a global search.

How are you getting a local LLM to read files for you?

I did that kind of thing once, had Qwen-3.5-122B as a fancy find-and-replace because I couldn't be arsed to write a find and pipe it to sed

That's not too bad. Back in the days when Nintendo Switch came out, I heard that rich people bought digital version of games because they were too lazy to get up from the couch and walk to the docked console to switch cartridges.
