This is probably payback for letting them off the hook on the monopoly suits. Expect more "payback" as they manipulate the narrative.
Oh so youre saying that AI companies can control what the AI says?
So meta letting their AI sext with children was intentional then...
Why would anyone need to search that tbh
What's a good google alternative?
Duckduckgo Ecosia Startpage Brave search
If you don't mind paying a little I have found that Kagi is the best. Sure, the others mentions are free but subpar, even to google. Kagi is simply better but with the downside of a monthly subscription. I love that they are quite transparent with changelogs and stuff when the make changes.
Kagi.
The downside is that it costs $10 per month.
The upside is:
- Privacy first
- You can pin websites to the top of results, promote them so they appear higher, demote them so they appear lower, or have them completely removed
- Lenses - quickly tell Kagi what type of results you want (News sources, academic articles, forum posts, programming sites, small web, etc.)
- Snaps - search shortcuts kinda like bangs. Eg, typing
@wis the same as typingsite:wikipedia.com - An actual good AI summary. Completely unobtrusive - only activated when you press the button, doesn't overextrapolate your request, and will only source the same results that you get from the search
- Direct image results
When I first migrated a couple years ago, it was a bit worse than Google but pretty close. Nowadays, I find it to be much much better. It's honestly close to how Google was back in 2015 before they made it garbage.
What about "Peter Thiel" plus some desease?
