#45Adding to the litany of bad google ideas from the past 10+ years: - Killing google reader - Pointless UI changes - Multiple chat and videocall apps that cannibalize each other. - Stadia fiasco - Shoving AI down our throats in their MAIN PRODUCT What's the source of this rot? I have a friend at google who says the place is filled with smart people competing with each other. Perhaps this competition fuels a chaotic lac…
> What's the source of this rot?
People that hide behind procedures and metrics and competition driven by that instead of looking outside the window and seeing if it's rainy or sunny.
MBA heads (which might be unfair here because this is more like engineer clockwork head) that use "products launched" as a metric even if you're actually taking down and launching the same product over and over
G killing "unprofitable" products like Google Reader because it makes sense on paper except that a) it's a minor line item b) they are too analytical to measure the impact on good will and brand "soft power" of the power and c) the existence of the product created demand for RSS producers and it was not simply another reader.

#46I turned off AI Overview in Google by switching to Kagi a few months back :P Seriously though. I'm waiting for the day that Google indexes all websites using embeddings into a massive vector database, so that Gemini can interact directly with all the indexed websites.
On a related note, I actually really like Kagi's quick answer feature for simple questions. The fact that they cite sources that you can then double check is the biggest win to me.
Kagi has been quite nice, it feels more like Google used to be in many ways.
I really love the domain filter feature, that alone has helped clean up my searc results for so many specific searches.

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
literally, how does anyone find this acceptable? It makes me feel dumb that I find this outrageous, like the emperor's new clothes: y'all can see this too right?
The retrospectives of this decade are going to be gloriously stupid.
It's got what plants crave: electrolytes.

The desperation to stay relevant and shout "AI! AI!" is so loud at Google that it drowns out all else, including common sense.

#49Not sure what the fuss is about. I've actually found the overviews to be quite helpful for a bunch of my searches since it was turned on. My impression so far has been nothing but positive. Is it a principles thing or are people really hating on having to scroll past a paragraph or two? If it's the former, well good luck with that. In general, Google is really undermining their whole business model with the AI Overvi…
I agree, imo it needs to be slightly smarter at when it turns itself off, as I've had it pop up for queries that I'd rather click a link for and on mobile it takes up most of the screen.
But for many other queries I do quickly get the answer I was looking for.
>In general, Google is really undermining their whole business model with the AI Overview paragraph as it will take away from their AdWord link revenue just as much as organic traffic to other sites.
The future is probably selectively biased ai, as scary as that sounds.

#50Is there any way to do a Web search with DDG bangs? I checked their list but didn't see an option. I occasionally use !g as a fallback search but recently started seeing this AI slop taking over the top of the results page, making it even harder to find a decent result.
