The issue does not lie with Unicode.

The last time you voted in The United States of America may be the last time you get a vote in The United States of America.

Do I understand correctly that you deliberately entered personal contact information into LLM?

If so, I would be a reprimanding anyone in my org that did this. While it’s more effort I’d use the LLM to write a script to read the page with the Confluence api, parse it, write out the json files and push them where they need to go.

Add in basic assertions to check the data is present, in the expected format and there is enough of it. Alerting when the assertions fail, then I can schedule it and forget about it.

This is where LLMs shine, I can now build a robust solution in an hour instead of a day.

Steampipe demonstrates a rather impressive range of scenarios for using FDWs + SQL in place of more traditional ETL and API integrations: https://steampipe.io/


I like this when I tried it out. The AWS API plugin was neat, query resources with SQL.

However, I like to limit my toolset to three things, these days thats duckdb, julia for analysis side, and... OK two things.

Oh yeah Trino for our distributed compute.
