Impressive.

Summary:

> This story follows Tim and Diane, two scientists who have successfully built a quantum computer. They use it to simulate a universe, and eventually discover that they are in fact living in a simulation themselves. They realize that any changes they make to the simulation will be reflected in their own universe, and must be careful not to do anything that could be harmful. They also discover that the simulation is part of an infinite tower of quantum computers, with their own universe being near the bottom. This realization is both exciting and daunting, as they now have the power to play God, but must be careful not to do anything that could have disastrous consequences.

Could it be using ChatGPT behind the curtains?

Oh, reminds me I had an email address @kagi.com, a long, long time ago :-)

I was wondering whether this is still the same company. I remember getting cheques from Kagi and German bank employees eying them suspiciously.

I asked them one time and they said they have no relation to Kee (who ran the shareware processing site), and just bought the domain when it was available. No connection to the old site. (I also used to get the occasional check from the old Kagi!)

I pay for Kagi search. This doesn't interest me in the least. They have been breaking down the costs of running their business and justifying their prices, which I'm cool with. If it turns out I'm paying to subsidize this kind of thing, it's not going to work for me anymore. (I don't mean to say it's bad or anything, just I don't care about it. It's an interesting downside of a paid business model. Google can do what…

Im on the opposite site: Currently, I do not use Kagi. Such features would convince me to switch (and therefore, pay).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We do, and we thought about opening this as a part of other APIs we already have. How would you price this?

I have a few thousand things to summarize, and am a paying subscriber. What happens to my account if I automate your page? I'm happy to pay. I think it's too much but I'd probably unhappily pay $0.05 per summary when they're this good. I'd rather pay $0.005 or less, then I'd plug it into KB tools like Obsidian as well as our bookmarking / link logging workflow firm-wide. Which reminds me, I want to be able to "gift"…

I also pay for Kagi search and have a usage value of ~55% from what I pay and I'm fine with experiments.

Oof, that inspired me to check and mine's at 17%. I'm fine with experiments, too. (It reminds me of the old Google Labs part of search.)

First chapter of Catch 22 - comically low quality

URL: https://thefreeonlinenovel.com/con/catch-22_chapter-1---the-...

Summary

Yossarian is in the hospital with a pain in his liver that falls just short of being jaundice. He is comfortable in the hospital and censors letters to pass the time. One day, the chaplain arrives and Yossarian is surprised to find that they have a mutual friend. The chaplain is shy and apologetic, but Yossarian is friendly and warm. He warns the chaplain of the craziness of the other wards, and the chaplain promises to be careful. In the ward, there is a soldier in white with two useless legs and two useless arms, and a colonel with a vortex of specialists trying to determine what is wrong with him. The woman with curly ash-blond hair visits him every day. Eventually, the patients start to leave the hospital, and Yossarian tells the doctors that his pain has gone away.

I had it summarize a recipe for me. It did a good job, but definitely editorialized. The URL I sent included just the recipe for split pea soup, but the summary added that "Split pea soup is a hearty and comforting dish that is easy to make" (which is true, but wasn't in the original) and said that the soup "is sure to be a hit with the whole family" (again, true, but wasn't in the original). So I feel like "summary"…

This should be more visible.

Both in terms of "everyone should see this comment" and "maybe Kagi should be labelling this more truthfully"
