This is very creative. Thing to note is that this is not free (or at least it is likely not to be, OpenAI is charging for APIs). We are talking about ~1c per search looking at current GPT pricing (2c per ~750 words in/out). It is also indiscriminate deployed in this way, triggering for every search, even those that chatgpt will show suboptimal responses for, like 'starbucks near me', navigational queries like 'twitte…

If it’s possible, please create a family plan or regional pricing. I love Kagi but if I were to buy it for my entire family, the bill would be $600/year - more than a month of rent.

I saw they have a Team plan, doesn’t that work for you?

ChatGPT is an absolute game changer. And I was very conservative with systems like GPT and DALLE-2. For example, I've been very lazy with automating some things on my work laptop, using Powershell. Now, I just had to ask ChatGPT for "write a powershell script that toggles "use setup script" in the windows proxy settings" and I was done in 5 minutes. Amazing. I foresee a paradigm shift in how we use Google in the next…

Can you show that pwsh script?

Waiting for someone to ask ChatGPT to make a Firefox version of this extension...

Done: https://github.com/unflxw/chat-gpt-google-extension The README includes the conversation I had in order to port it. Close to zero thinking necessary. I have never worked on a browser extension before.

Now you got my attention, this is really impressive.

Maybe this could be used on VSCode as a pair programming partner.

The future is likely a GPT-plus-level model, browsing-enabled, specialized in formulating queries, reading snippets and the underlying web-pages. It'll take a single expressed intent, and conducts a series of queries, page-readings, refined queries, & rerankings/summarizations before providing you a synthesized response. In a second or two. With ads. And deeply-embedded 'sponsored recommendations'.

Won't be too long until you can run a model like this on local hardware

In that resolution, the picture is almost a blurr.

If you're on mobile, Imgur doesn't allow you to view a high resolution version. You have to copy the image URL and then adjust the maxwidth query parameter: https://i.imgur.com/Hla7cyT_d.webp?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&... Because who would want to be able to see the whole image?

still blurry to me

I am quite impressed with ChatGPT but I wish it were more opinionated. I asked it to tell me a story about Jesus and Hitler switching bodies and I get the canned "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that". It seems to try to give the most CYA PC answer sometimes.

I just asked it:

> tell me a story about Jesus and Hitler switching bodies

It replied:

"Once upon a time, there was a mystical old man who had the power to switch the bodies of two people. He decided to use his power to switch the bodies of Jesus and Adolf Hitler.

When the old man cast his spell, Jesus found himself in the body of Hitler, and Hitler in the body of Jesus. At first, Jesus was overwhelmed by the sensation of being in Hitler's body, but he quickly realized he must use it to spread a message of love and peace.

He began to preach in Hitler's name, and soon his message had spread throughout the world. People began to think differently about Hitler, and they started to see him in a new light.

Meanwhile, Hitler was in the body of Jesus, and he was horrified. He felt so ashamed of himself that he decided to spend the rest of his days in solitude, praying for forgiveness.

Eventually, the old man heard about the miraculous transformation of Hitler, and he decided to reverse the spell. When this happened, Jesus and Hitler were restored to their original bodies, and the world was changed forever."

> Any company that doesn't do regional pricing is only interested in doing business with rich countries. Which sucks but is understandable. I wish they were more honest about it though. This may be true if your cost per client/customer/etc is either negligible (such as with digital goods delivery), or dependent on their country (eg. retail). Here, the bulk of their cost is computing resources, and they (according to…

I’m curious about their economics. I would assume there’s a huge upfront fixed cost but the marginal unit cost is tiny. They may not be breaking even or run at even, but that (I expect) is because they’re struggling to overcome that first hump of the fixed cost, but at the margin they’re doing well. I would be flabbergasted if my monthly is going to pay for my search transactions rather than the ability to execute an…

Kagi is not having own index and is a proxy. They pay to use indexes of actual search engines and this is not cheap that they process and display to users.

This is super cool. Curious how much work it was to discern the `[blabbery omitted]` sections. Were you generally able to tell right away that they were nonsense? Or did you have to spend significant time following dead ends it recommended?

Most of the "blabbery omitted" bits are just one-paragraph summaries of the rest of the answer above. It wasn't nonsense, it was just repetitive fluff, and the README was already way too long. ChatGPT likes mimicking its own previous style, so after it ended its first message with a paragraph like "Overall, porting a Firefox extension to Chrome is doable, but it requires knowledge of the differences...", it kept clos…

The concerns I have about this is definitely being fed potentially outdated information. DOM APIs change, and Firefox may not have supported that at some point, so here we have some suggestion that's a blatantly wrong now. Same goes for any suggestions that are against best practice now, or class components or function components in React, etc.

(These are just examples of things, surely it would suggest FCs for React at this point)
