Might as well completely give up on the summary cards from now on

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Drag took your advice, and it only gave drag the answer drag wanted. It wasn't as good at figuring out which question drag was asking, but it made up for that by not wasting half the screen real estate on other answers. Ecosia beats Google at answering drag's question today.
sorry, can't let this post go without calling out the greenwashing ecosia that has a chatgpt integration while they only report their own energy stats with a limp "it's too early to tell uwu" when it comes to openai as a provider
Valid. Drag refused to look at any ads anyways, because fuck ads. Do you have a more ethical suggestion?
Multiple options available depending on what you want. Duckduckgo for Bing results. Startpage for Google and Bing.
I've been quite happy with Startpage for a while now and there are multiple options depending on just how badly you want to avoid Google.
I'm super happy with Kagi search. Even the AI summary is quite good as it's based on the search results, not just made up from training data. Of course, it's still a stupid LLM, so double check everthing. But i find it quite useful to get a grasp on the overall content of the results.
And search itself works well, haven't had a moment where it was worse than one of the big providers. The dedicated forum, programming and other serchas are cool and i love being able to adjust the priority of pages or even blacklist them.
not gonna give any money to a startup whose weird fucking founder thinks their primary product is AI rather than search, thanks

I wonder how long until these clowns start posting kagi signups with referral links embedded
I’m always surprised that’s not a factor, given how fervent the posts are

love when a search engine has a random guy who knows nothing message me some bullshit he made up about a search. of course, you have to double check the bullshit. but it's a great feature
If you liked Wordpress Matt wearing a hat, then you'll love Kagi Guy in your replies.
