How often has it confidently told you the wrong answer?

There is absolutely something stopping me from going to Bing and I wager it's the same reason with most other people: Despite how awful Google has become in recent years...Bing is still consistently worse.

Great, LLM recommendations. A list that randomly spits out the names of songs that don't exist. Just what I want in a recommendation engine - to sift through garbage nonsense.

You say the lack of forced AI answers with their accompanying russian-roulette-esque accuracy as if that's a bad thing.

People who walk out the door talk.

That's not how it's been for the bulk of modern history. What absolute absurdity. It's an ancap mentality taken to the notion of privacy.

You are the culmination of your life's experiences. Going by your definition, one could infer an individual has zero intrinsic ownership of any non-health data. Which I categorically object to.

A knife's function is deterministic. LLMs are not. They routinely misinterpret the information they've ingested and confidently spit out incorrect statements. Worse - they confidently spit out incorrect statements in ways we can

It wasn't the majority of queries until the past 5 years though. What was once an annoyance became an active disruption to getting the information I'm looking for.

Search has degraded substantially in the past 5 years for reasons wholly, completely, and absolutely unrelated to SEO blogspam. Google of 5 years ago didn't ignore words in almost every single query I made. Google of 5 years ago did

Are they, though? Inaccurate info is pretty common from LLMs.

I tire of the notion that if we don't have the technical acumen to remove technical changes that provide data to third parties and know the implications of what it means that we opted ourselves into no privacy. As opposed to the realit

As is the case of most abrupt social changes with no seeming environmental impetus - someone aggressive and powerful found a means of exerting their influence to push their desired social change. And so they did with CoCs.

How is Kagi faring after Google's exclusivity deal with Reddit?

What does any of what you cited have to do with the independent web? Should he have clarified "properties not backed by tens, hundreds, thousands, or millions of millions of dollars?"

No shit a quarter of Google's new code is created by AI. How else do you explain why Google search has been so aggressively awful for the past 5~ years? Seriously. The penchant for outright ignoring user search terms, relentlessly

The alternative to that is Android and IOS where we don't have full control over our own devices unless we jailbreak them, which itself breaks so many critical apps on the mobile device stores that it's frequently not worth it to

The alternative of making such acts a crime seems like a grossly disproportionate response though.

To be fair, OSI approval also deters marketing teams from watering down the definition of open source into worthless feelgood slop.

I don't know about you but LLMs spit out garbage nonsense frequent enough that I can't trust their output in any context I cannot personally verify the validity of.

And you are not entitled to kill off your competitors by operating at a loss until they're dead and then raise your price (e.g. amount of time you demand from people for them to see ads, amount of personal data you collect, and all bu

Just because they're good for you doesn't de facto make them good for society. I utterly despise how so much of the Internet has been gentrified and sanitized to appeal to advertisers at the expense of communities and culture.

Bad ads? No, that is horseshit . The goal of blocking ads isn't to only allow in "good ads". It's to block ads . Not some ads. Not a few ads. Not just malware delivered via ads. Not just Google's competitors. I

Removing apps pegged to an old API version as opposed to only apps that use a no-longer-supported API call needlessly removes useful apps that don't need regular maintenance and updates.

That's about as sound an argument as saying people vote to go to casinos with their wallet. While technically true, it omits a pretty damn significant detail behind the appeal.

That analogy still doesn't mean LLMs are a form of intelligence with reasoning capability.

by rockskon 2y ago
LLMs are not intellence. They are not AGI. They do not have the reasoning skills of a baby. This is not something they will "grow into". No amount of additional training data in the world will turn LLMs into AGI. Any argume

Because not all human interaction is equal. It equivocates talking to a cashier at the grocery store to hanging out with friends.

The hell are people down voting that for? It's not an endorsement of the legal principle. This is the world we live in. But I'm sure many of you have money - why not try organizing and changing the law.
