It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Here's the problem. Google used to be good. Now it sucks. Microsoft tried to do Bing by building a rival AI capable of crawling the web and building a relational database better than Google's and failed. So now we've got Microsoft rebranding their Search Engine as a Chat AI and... It doesn't suck!
I can look for things I had enormous trouble finding online previously and get the results I actually want. This is a good thing! I like good things! I'm going to probably use ChatGPT as a search engine going forward because it works better than Google or DuckDuckGo or whatever else. Do not try to stop me, because I like Search Engines That Return The Results I'm Actually Looking For.
I just recognize that this is a term-limited experience. Eventually, ChatGPT will get slogged down by adware and bloatware and shitty SEO. And then it'll stop working properly.
At that point, I'll have to either go back to Alta Vista or Yahoo or whatever else doesn't suck, or find a Sexy New Thing to use as a search engine.
Sorry, haters. But that's the Brave New World we live in.
