    Because... the post is about Kagi? > And $10 is about 1% of your monthly income in your example numbers, meaning it's perfectly fine also for somebody making $10 000 per year. What…

    We’re talking median annual income of $10,000. I could forgive someone getting paid that not wanting to spend that $10 on an internet search engine instead of food.

    As opposed to future prejudices? I agree: the trials are not speedy enough. None of us will live long enough to take advantage of the endgame version of this.

    I'm not convinced it existed before - not to the extent where it actually harmed people. But you know what will harm people for certain and a lot ? "Ending H-1B ASAP". So why end i…

    Do you think the European workers were in the right? Is the solution to kick out (let alone slaughter) the Chinese, or is it to make them less exploitable by companies?

    I don't care about "every international company" or any company. Kicking out immigrants is cruel to people .

    Or it’s a way for the less fortunate (geographically) to seek a better future. They more or less got rid of it last September, yet the job market has only worsened. Scapegoating mi…

    I'm seeing the opposite happening. The ability to focus to the point of obsession or find joy in boring repetitive tasks associated with autism helped before the rise of AI and aut…

    Am I the only one with the opposite experience? I can’t remember the last time GPT told me I was right. It always finds something to nitpick (sometimes wrongly). Maybe it’s OpenAI …
