6 days agoThis blacklist is a pretty neat way to block a good amount of those AI slop results.

I think you missed a part of their comment:
Block ads and use a different search engine?
Both Ecosia and DuckDuckGo have served me pretty well. Kagi also seems somewhat interesting.
Ecosia is working with Qwant on their own index, the first version of which has already gone online I believe. So they’re no longer exclusively relying on Bing/Google for their back-end.
Search engines will still give Wikipedia results at the top for relevant searches. Heck, you can search Wikipedia itself directly!
Both Ecosia and DuckDuckGo support some form of “bangs”, if I tack
!wonto my search it’ll immediate go through to Wikipedia.
DuckDuckGo has even introduced an AI image filter, which is not perfect but still pretty good.
It’s because during (boasting?) exaggerated claims are often made, so it’s totally fiiiine and legal!
Consumer protection is such a sham.
I don’t think their recent drop is because of that video. Just personally curious, whether I should try to watch again as I did enjoy some of their output.
But if Nick leaves it unaddressed I guess I won’t.
Clean your URL’s, please.
I stopped watching Second Wind after Frost’s video.
Did they ever address it?
That’s from way back when. They shut production for a week, reassessed how they make things, and came back with the promise to be more thorough and not release a video when it’s just not done that day. And they have “missed” some days since.
They’ve got to keep their profit margins, or the CEO’s and shareholders might need to take a paycut.
We were blocked in Turkey for 3 years or so, and fought all the way to the Supreme Court and won. Nothing has changed about our principles. The difference in this case is that the short term legal requirements in order to not wreck the long term chance of victory made this a necessary step.
Hopefully not block the entire website in India.
“We’re scaling back in crowded market segments and instead focussing on AI! A totally not crowded segment.”
I would’ve actually been interested in Mozilla’s VPN/Footprint scrubbing services as a “trustworthy” company, but they’re not even available here yet and by the sound of it never will. Now instead they’ll be playing catch-up in another market.
It’s difficult to remain excited with news like this, but I want there to be alternatives to Chromium so I’ll keep using Firefox.
The CEO of brave, Brendan Eich, is opposed to same-sex marriage.
They, too, are working on their own index, but I cannot support that company and would suggest you seek alternatives.
And, though Ecosia/DDG don’t always show what I want, it’s very easy to add a
!gto my already existing query and get put through to google. Which is rare, mind you, but comes in handy every so often. Does that mean it sometimes takes a *bit* of effort to get the result I’m after? Yeah, but that is a sacrifice I’m happy to make when it comes to supporting alternatives.
