"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Yes, I'll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.
With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I'm tired, yo.
forget about just being outright wrong all the fucking time, you can ask this piece of shit a very simple yes/no question and it will change its answer constantly when you do so much as refresh the page. its actually baffling to me. duckduckgo has search ai, and somehow theirs works fine enough %90 of the time and won't change its answer with each page refresh. DDG is doing search ai better than Google, the third biggest company in the world who may as well own the internet, AND YOU CAN JUST TURN THE DDG AI OFF. Big tech are so embarrassingly incompetent.
Just switch your search engine already.
Maybe it just recalls the answer for at least a few hours?
Seems like a good way to improve precision without improving accuracy.
It's very common to cache results for LLM because it saves a ton on computation costs.
I can vouch for Kagi, although I wouldn't say their AI is that much better. But if you find like 5 other friends the family plan is worth it.
How does kagi define “family”? Like netflix?
afaik its just a group discount plan
I ask because having an inclusive definition of "family" being whittled down eventually to a single IP address is a pretty common trope of enshittification...
Anyway, itś $20/month, so if I had some nerd friends, I'd consider it.
I think one beer every two weeks at the pub would cover their contribution.
Having a VPN for the initial purchase will yield you even less. Not sure about which country had it the cheapest, but IIRC the lowest was like 12€.
