#22FWIW the Firefox instructions don't seem to apply to Ubuntu (at least under GNOME, can't speak for any other DE). There's no "three dots," just right click on the address bar, then choose "Add Google Web" from the context menu. Alternatively, you can avoid this nonsense entirely by using DuckDuckGo, or StartPage, or Kagi, or any number of other totally competent search engines.
No 3 dots on Windows either.

#23I 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.

Powerful people in the company are trying to get "Integrated AI into an existing product with overwhelming resulting engagement" onto their resume.

Galaxy brain information right there. Maybe Google is finally showing the right answers all along, we're just not advanced enough to accept it

Just sounds like simpsons paradox.
Congressional approval rating - lowest its ever been
Individual congressman? - highest ratings
Tech orgs - bumbling if not incompetent
Individual contributors at these orgs - very talented. Maybe not analytical engines like Knuth but very functional in their respective domains.
Just another meta problem we are hitting at this scale of humanity and information processing.

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.

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.
