- WarOnPrivacy 1y agoFrom the article: Consider the search engine Bing. Despite investing around $100 billion in Bing, Microsoft failed to make a dent in Google’s market share, in part because it would have taken Bing 17 years to collect the same amount of user data about website quality that Google collects in 13 months. From the same article: I’m tired of sifting through Google’s increasingly cluttered and irrelevant search results, searching in vain for the latest news and instead finding only Reddit posts. I guess the synopsis is that Google created the largest ever silos of user and internet data and then used it all to curate the largest possible library of affiliate slop.
- tim333 1y agoI use Google over Bing. I actually kind of like Google and their original drive to make search better and organise the world's information. Bing's pitch seemed to be, hey we at Microsoft are a big pushy os monopoly and we want our cut of the search pie. Which never had me think - wow, I should switch.
- WarOnPrivacy 1y agoKagi pulls from Google and Bing and does what neither of them can do (despite their utterly massive budgets) - deliver affiliate free results. And as a bonus, Kagi only delivers AI results when requested. Kagi is what Google and Bing could be - if only they weren't controlled by people of questionable skill and low ethics.
- gigel82 1y agoThat's overly optimistic. There are meager efforts to rein things in a little but at this point we're full on "regulatory capture" so I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if anything actually comes to pass.

- 1vuio0pswjnm7 1y agoThis is why the "AI" marketing is so relentless. It is their last hope. All of Big Tech will become defense contractors. This will become their core business if they want to survive.
