I've been trying out SearX and I'm really starting to like it. It reminds me of early Internet search results before Google started added crap to theirs. There's currently 82 Instances to choose from, here

it literally just proxies/aggregates google/bing search results tho?

Voroxpete ,

So does pretty much every search engine. Running your own web crawler requires a staggering amount of resources.

Mojeek is one you can check out if that's what you're looking for, but it's index is noticeably constrained compared to other search engines. They just don't have the compute power or bandwidth to maintain an up to date index of the entire web.

we're working on it 😉 slow and steady and all that; we also fixed a bug with recrawl recently that should be improving things

I've used an LLM that provides references for most things it says, and it really ruined a lot of the magic when I saw the answer was basically copied verbatim from those sources with a little rewording to mash it together. I can't imagine trusting an LLM that doesn't do this now.

Which one?!

Breve ,

Kagi's FastGPT. It's handy for quick answers to questions I'd normally punch in a search engine with the same ability to vet the sources.

Same ,

I'd hate to defend an llm, but Kagi FastGPT explicitly works by rewording search sources through an llm. It's not actually a stand alone llm, that's why it's able to cite it's sources.

How about a law stating that the terms of all contracts with corporations be listed in a public registry?

You want the state to enforce the terms of your agreement, you put that agreement out in the open. No secret laws, and no secret laws-by-proxy.

gibmiser ,

Now that is an idea. Me like. Of course, that means business will fight against it sooo

Seleni ,

Then you’d just have the police knocking whenever you used an aftermarket part. They’ll just force everyone to agree to them enforcing those contracts when they buy the product. After all, the EULA is given to everyone, has terrible shit in it, but people sign it anyways because if you don’t, you don’t get to use the product.

This is already illegal, though.

Using third party parts/repairs is not cause to void a warranty in the US (Magnuson Moss), and most of Europe and Australia are stricter than the US is.

That's what happens when people who don't understand LLMs try to profit off of LMMs. You can be sure that the actual programmers at Google told corporate that this would be the exact thing that would happen, but corporate pushed ahead anyway. The programmers shrugged, did their job, and brushed up their CVs just in case.

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

You didn’t create this dragon, Google. We did. And we are weirder than you understand.

I once said that the current "AI" is just a excel spread sheet with a few billion rows, from what all of the answer gets interpolated from...

They also highlight the fact that Google’s AI is not a magical fountain of new knowledge, it is reassembled content from things humans posted in the past indiscriminately scraped from the internet and (sometimes) remixed to look like something plausibly new and “intelligent.”

This. "AI" isn't coming up with new information on its own. The current state of "AI" is a drooling moron, plagiarizing any random scrap of information it sees in a desperate attempt to seem smart. The people promoting AI are scammers.

There’s an old adage in computing which really applies here:

Garbage in, garbage out.

catalog3115 , to Technology in Samsung Requires Independent Repair Shops to Share Customer Data, Snitch on People Who Use Aftermarket Parts, Leaked Contract Shows

The use of aftermarket parts in repair is relatively common. This provision requires independent repair shops to destroy the devices of their own customers, and then to snitch on them to Samsung. 

That's just pure evil and bully. If you have aftermarket parts they will destroy the device and force you to pay for it. This is the reason we need right to repair. Every consumer should support it.

HeyMrDeadMan , to Reddit in Reddit’s Goon Cave Community Has Been Banned

So obviously I'm an idiot, I thought GoonCaves was the group people posted pictures of computer rooms overflowing with empty coke bottles, cigarette butts, fast food containers, and the occasional piss jug. What group am I thinking of?

EDIT: NeckbeardNests, that's what I was thinking of. Now see, that's just wholesome internet content.
