What I find confusing is: Given that the server is essentially authorizing each subsequent client request (eg: For Kagi: search queries after a Kagi user has already been authenticated) in a way whereby the client is anonymous, what is the

Ignoring the 425M free users (where ad revenue comes in), given that Spotify has 250M paying users, that it translates to $3.33/month/user being paid to the music industry. This isn't a lot. And in maybe a more benevolent wor

I remember about 10-15 years ago that Ray Kurzweil (who still works at Google) or someone at Google had this idea for what Google should be able to do: About doing deep research by itself with a simple search query. I can't find the so
