       Today's Google Announcement that they are essentially killing search and making it just AI summaries so you don't need to go to the original sites may be a blessing in disguise. Present day content creators that really produce content will be strangled off. The new paradigm will be feeding the LLM bots. What will they be fed? They'll be fed more LLM generated content. It'll be a human centipede of content. Those of us who want that, which sadly is probably like >80% of the population, will go to their big tech LLM portals as their sole source of content. The producers that eschew that will continue to produce and hopefully connect with those of us that can't stand that fucking shit. How do we maximize access and discovery to these real producers and not slop farms?  That's the question we should be asking. I don't think this will be the demise of Google or any of the big tech platforms. There is plenty of money to be made feeding junk food to the masses. I think we should think about how we generate sufficient discoverability to real creators and get sufficient revenue streams to them that they can keep doing it for a living, or at least a decent paying part time gig. #google #GenAI

       Even though duckduckgo decided to censor during covid era, their search currently works a lot like early google. Which is great to find really specific info

       @sulaco @djsumdog @hankg @lain I'm trying DDG after using Kagi for a year and as a comparison DDG sucks. Might not be bad as a Google, but since it is bing in disguise it also sucks. For some reason it also outputs different result for the same query upon refresh.

       @phnt @djsumdog @hankg @lain @sulaco have you tried searx? You can customize it a lot to select several search engines to pull at once. I am not currently using it, but I have in the past a lot. My issue is it always happens that the searx instance I'm using goes down. Here's a list of instances: https://searx.space/
