At least you can fix AI overview shit for yourself and others you know using the https://udm14.com/ method (click the how it works thing to see how it actually works so you can edit your search urls to include that).

Of course, it is now funded by growth at all cost VC people, they do not understand fun or joy, all they want to see is n = n+1

this board is filled with self-satisfied assholes who feel free to hold forth on whatever subject crosses their minds, with the absolute certainty that they’re the smartest people in the room

If your system flagged that as toxic, makes me wonder about the system. Also check your bias against people saying this because it def comes off as true. (And hey if this truth hurts, remember that he didnt claim yall are not the smartest people, yall have 130+ iqs remember).

Forgot to save who said it, but on bsky somebody said they or their friends had come up with a slur for people who use genAI for everything: sloppers.

More people should have read Zima Blue.

Yeah and for all its faults, google still works well at times, I try to use more ddgo, but at times it is easier to find what I want using google. (Or at all), doesnt always work however and google has a massive 'we are pointing to our own stuff/people who pay or might pay first'. Searched for 'lets play' recently and it was very obvious. (You can do that yourself, search for that and see how long it takes you to get to the something awful lets play page, and note the urls of all the results before that (also note not just how many publicates there are but how many are yr)), of course I could have searched for 'lets play something awful' but I wanted to see how long it took for it to show up. (And if SA appears that late, what chance do smaller new non-slop projects have, if only google has less sloppers).

Those who do not study history are doomed to recreate neopets.

Btw, for the people who don't know, you can turn off the AI previews https://udm14.com/ (don't use this site to search, click on what is umd14 and edit your search urls to include that).

It was amusing to see wikipedia keeps a list of fileformats and wordperfect was among them. Which seemed the correct factor of wrong, obscure, but not obscure enough that nobody would notice.

Starting this fight and not 'stop counting at zero you damn computer nerds!' is a choice. DIJKSTRAAAAAAAA shakes fist

(There is more to it in a way, as he is trying to be a Dijkstra, and changing an ingrained system which would confuse everybody and cause so many problems down the line. See all the off by one errors made by programmers. Damn DIJKSTRAAAAAA!).

Thanks!

They forced the article to be taken down, there are archive links, when im back home (and if I dont forget) ill scroll past my reskeets to find the link.

Yeah sucks as we should be very clear it is visa/mastercard and the terf group influencing them who is to blame.
