I take back everything I said in my previous post because of this
And if you try to use the AI search to actually find any actual websites or articles it will just hallucinate them. They kept telling us AI was the future of search, but we know they want it to be the future of information.
Self-host SearXNG on your laptop/PC. Your only regret is that you’d wish you’d done this sooner. Both SearXNG and Docker have helpful setup pages that walk you through the process. https://docs.searxng.org/
I’ve been hosting searx(ng) for like a decade or more. Rarely does it not find what I’m looking for.
Me and my dad have been using DuckDuckGo for a while
Hey another reason to stop using Google’s enshittified search engine.
It’s not even a search engine anymore. It’s just another stream of ad revenue for them. They’re an advertising company, NOT a search company.
Glad I stopped years ago. F—k big tech.
If AI really were that good, it would have naturally displaced human written answers by now.
hear me out.
my job requires me to use AI as a KPI. Now, I don’t have to look for answers on google anymore while I’m at work. I’ll just regurgitate the AI answer.
when I’m at home I’ll use DDG and actually spend time and effort on solutions.
this is an absolute win. work gets zero effort, and I spend my time on more important things like not giving a fuck if capitalism rots from the inside ouy due to AI.
Better I propose AI usage for other teams. Now people requesting work from IT have to convince a chatbot their demands are usefull and then fill a jira which is checked by a chatbpt too before having access to a human. What problems can this bring ? I wonder.
I want to downvote this so bad but I know that’s not the point of downvotes…
I too sometimes wish it would be possible to boo stuff that gets published in digital media. 🫨 Some stuff is just too triggering.
We need a post upvote/downvote for the quality of the post and media upvote/downvote to say how much we hate or love the content.
Reactions, like on Piefed. Pretty nifty.
Not only will this suck but it will also be very dangerous. A large company whose goals are profit and manipulation that is essentially embedded in society should not be allowed to have this kind of control over this facet of the public square.
Welcome to the internet post-NetNeutrality
Is this a problem that net neutrality would have solved?
I’m pretty sure net neutrality was what prevented internet platforms/providers/protocols/etc. from artificially favoring some content over others, until it was repealed.
Net neutrality is more about the physical network, e.g. your ISP can’t make google requests go fast and bing ones go slow, or not count google requests against your data cap (if you have one)
Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
It should still be reinstated though.
One I scrape… 2 if I have to use regular shit I always move to the 2nd page. Fuck all chatgipity.
Further erasing the source of truth so it can be rewritten by the highest bidder.
Anyone got a more burnt or withered version of this?
Any old photo of soot dust will do.
The co-founders of google that are still on the board, did business with epstein.
"Don’t be evil. Lol.
I wonder how long before they disable the Web Search option (udm=14). I still use that as my default search engine wherever possible, because I find it more reliable than Duck Duck Go for the things I tend to search for. Unfortunately, I can see Google killing it to funnel more people towards the slop trough.
What’s that do?
It’s basically an older version of the website, without the AI features.
Yesterday, as the goog search-results-page was taking 4-5 seconds to generate the AI-guff at top, it made all the site-links unclickable until AI summary was done. 🚽
(Disclaimer: Was on a random PC)
you’re gonna use AI whether you like it or not … oh wait, I left google search long ago
Kagi. You?
