I am rooting for Kagi here, and I applaud their transparency on such matters. It is quite enlightening for someone like me who understands technology but knows little about the inner workings of search.

It remains to be seen how or if the remedies will be enforced, and, of course, how Google will choose to comply with them. I am not optimistic, but at least there is some hope.

As an aside: The 1998 white paper by Brin and Page is remarkable to read knowing what Google has become.

What an amusing experiment! I laughed out loud many times. A novel way to explore the boundaries of something so stringent.

I second this recommendation. Unhook is a game-changer if you spend a lot of time on YouTube. It makes the site so much more pleasant to use.

Sure, but the problem is S and X sound very similar when spoken, causing more confusion. Try clarifying which one you are talking about in a loud room at a conference.

I have noticed, and I am concerned that they were the leaders of the Superalignment team.

> This kinda confirms, unfortunately and sadly, that ChatGPT answers are probably just as good as human answers.

These people are paid to follow scripts and strict protocols. At best, this may suggest that ChatGPT answers are as good as a call center representative's answers.

I have over ten years experience with Unreal, so the cost of switching engines would be very high, and must offer something irresistible in return.

Regarding your second question: Unreal effectively has no licensing fee for most developers. The engine is free, you get access to the full source code, and you pay a 5% royalty only after you have made $1 million gross revenue.

Therein lies the crux of the issue: AI is not “someone”. We need to approach this without anthropomorphizing the AI.

I like the UI design of Threads and I’m trying to enjoy the app, but it keeps flooding my feed with desperate, attention-seeking women in suggestive clothing and positions. I never have this problem on X.

This is great! Some of the listed Oregon airfields aren't foo far from me, so I might have to pay them a visit.

I'm an avid researcher of abandoned locations and their histories. There is nothing quite like immersing yourself in the past, especially if you can stand in the location for yourself. Imagine all the paths that intersected there; the lives that were changed. Even the smallest trace you leave behind may be rediscovered by someone in the future, and they may wonder what your life was like. They may even be connected to you in some way. Perhaps this trace is what leads them to discover that connection.

I understand and even applaud their decision to grow carefully and deliberately. At the same time, I have been on the waitlist for a year or so and I am eager to try it out.

Of all the Twitter competitors, I find Bluesky the most intriguing. I love the idea of managing my own feeds and connecting my own domain. There is a sense of control and privacy that I find appealing. It remains to be seen if Bluesky can deliver on its vision, but I look forward to experiencing it for myself.
