Please, do not use b6133fd6-70fe-4fe3-bed6-8ca8fc9386cd, I checked my database and I was using it already.

I always thought generating UUIDs at random was insane. I now only use LLMs. The prompt is: "generate a UUID. Make sure no one ever used it anywhere in their code or database. Check your work and think hard about each step. Do not output any reasoning or plain English, only th UUID itself".

You're welcome.

I knew it, we're all getting the same cheap UUIDs and the good ones are reserved for the big dogs.

I'm using 16b55183-1697-496e-bc8a-854eb9aae0f3 and probably some more too. I suppose if we all post our list here, then we can all check for duplicates?

That UUID should have my name sticker on it. Don't your UUIDs have name stickers?
