    Sadly there’s really no other search engine with a database as big as Google. We goofed by heavily relying on Google.

      Kagi is pretty awesome. I never directly use Google search on any of my devices anymore, been on Kagi for going on a year.

        I just started the Kagi trial this morning, so far I’m impressed how accurate and fast it is. Do you find 300 searches is enough or do you pay for unlimited?

        Interesting… sadly paid service.

        I use perplexity, I just have to get into the habit of not going straight to google for my searches.

          I do think it’s worth the money however, especially since it allows you to cutomize your search results by white-/blacklisting sites and making certain sites rank higher or lower based on your direct feedback. Plus, I like their approach to openness and considerations on how to improve searching without bogging down the standard search.

        Because they will only be used my corporations to replace workers, furthering class divide, ultimately leading to a collapse in countries and economies. Jobs will be taken, and there will be no resources for the jobless. The future is darker than bleak should LLMs and AI be allowed to be used indeterminately by corporations.

          We should use them to replace workers, letting everyone work less and have more time to do what they want.

          We shouldn’t let corporations use them to replace workers, because workers won’t see any of the benefits.

            that won’t happen. technological advancement doesn’t allow you to work less, it allowa you to work less for the same output. so you work the same hours but the expected output changes, and your productivity goes up while your wages stay the same.

              technological advancement doesn’t allow you to work less,

              It literally has (When forced by unions). How do you think we got the 40-hr workweek?

                  Unions fought for it after seeing the obvious effects of better technology reducing the need for work hours.

                That wasn’t technology. It was the literal spilling of blood of workers and organizers fighting and dying for those rights.

                  And you think they just did it because?

                  They obviously thought they deserved it, because… technology reduced the need for work hours, perhaps?

          Holy shit your assumption says a lot about you. How do you think AI is going to “help impoverished people live better lives” exactly?
