I use Kagi’s AI search for things that are “unGooglable”, but you explicitly have to turn that on by adding a question mark to the end of the query. Otherwise, I use its standard search.

It does take a little bit longer to get answers, but there’s value in the struggle. I don’t want to become a braindead AI repeater.

I have seen no evidence that we as a species in general will be able to harness LLMs for good.

Way back in the day I was making $500 a month with AdSense ads on my sites. And then one month I started making $250 a month. I hadn’t changed anything. It’s a risky thing to rely on.

It’s a national embarrassment at best.

My buddy graduated and took a gap year. That year happened to be the dot com crash. So he kept backpacking for another year then started looking for work. 😁

This isn’t the first time this has happened, though.

If I wanted to raise superhumans, I’d simply not give them smartphones until they turned 18.

Additionally, I’m not paying that evil company a dime. All the people I follow on YT get way more money from me on Patreon.

LLMs won’t get smarter in the next 10 years, but they will rapidly outpace humans.

Everyone who is conflicted must resign immediately.

Will AI finally replace CEOs?

I just installed the original about a month ago to try it again. I hadn’t played it since the early 90s on a VT220 attached to a MicroVAX II.

Didn’t make it past the first level. 😅

Basically “does this JSON object contain at least these two properties, and is the value of one particular properties a string of digits followed by the letter ‘Z’”, for example.

I tried and failed to get an LLM to write jq code to do a regex based matcher for finding if one json object was a subset of another.

Gave up and learned it enough to get it going. jq is nutso powerful.

If Trump’s goal isn’t to cede most everything to China, he’s doing a poor job.

I don’t trust the people making the national citizenship list to be honest about it.

Lol… I wanted “DRM”. But it’s been a long day.

No way rich people are using this shit on their own kids.

I often wonder about the stuff I write, what becomes of it. It’s a little disheartening since I love crafting it for best effect… But especially with computer books for beginners, people prefer to ask AI for the answers instead of studying.

I also just bought 6 sci-fi books from an author I’d never heard of for cheap. I love supporting indy authors, the price was right, and they sold their books directly from the website, no middlemen and no DRM. Perfect.

But was the author real? I actually did a bunch of research to find out their history and all that before pulling the trigger. I really don’t want to read AI stories. But I can see a future where the vast majority don’t care. Imagine an endless episode of Survivor or a soap opera, completely generated 24x7 forever. You know that shit would be massive.

And there might only be a fringe that seeks human-generated content for the humanity of it.
