You make it sound like searching 1% of human knowledge is not a fucking big deal. The Harry Potter books created an awesome series of magic, with instant teleportation, flying objects and invisibility coats. Yet they had nothing comparable to Google, which would have destroyed the plots to at least 3 books since the answers could have been found trivially that way.
- cratermoon 5y agoIt's not that 1% isn't astounding, it's that choices, human and automated that go into deciding which 1% is cataloged. Are the Harry Potter books really more valuable than 99% over everything else humans know? Or does Google simply provide a catalog of the things that can be pressed into service to generate revenue, either for themselves or their ad-buying customers?
