SEO crap ruined search, but you can still search. Asking a chatbot is going to be promoted until you won't have any way to source the answers, and we'll rely on a big corporation's version of reality on the basis of Trust Me Bro. Great timeline, excellent job.

It’s no fun to download an app AND create an account with Microsoft to just search something .

But people were able to find stuff before the advent of search engines on the internet. Why can't that still work? And if you believe search engines are useful, you would continue to use them (may be from google, if bing decides to remove themselves). Just because bing might change into a question-answer style engine, doesn't mean you must use them. And if it turns out to be _better_, well, that's progress.

You really couldn't.

Its disturbing how quickly people fell into line. Its something I worry about the AI space when people talk about controlling it for disinfo and fake news. Just who determines what is disinformation?

We saw Jacinda Ardern tell NZ that the govt was the single source of truth and not to trust anything else. That was quite disturbing, especially when they moved to cover up the (few) deaths from the vaccine.

Also in NZ there is a organisation called The Disinformation Project, who received govt grants via "NZ on Air", who ironically spread disinformation themselves when they're not busy attacking people exercising their right to protest.

I don't consider myself a drooling idiot, but I started using the Internet maybe a couple years after Google started existing, so I don't remember how to find stuff pre-search engine. I rather doubt the generations that came after would have the knowledge or the inclination. The generations that came after experienced computers that had become far more "user friendly", walled gardens, and a salvo of psychological man…

The barrier to democratizing AI is the compute. But there are a few open source ones now https://techcrunch.com/2022/12/30/theres-now-an-open-source-...

Given how ChatGPT was trained to avoid talking about anything remotely related to sex at all costs, it's gonna be awkward.

What is ai good at besides porn?

Writing articles about porn

The Edge integration announced today also looks very impressive. I chuckled at the thought that MS is probably about to make a daily Edge user out of me and a lot of other people, but of course Edge is Chrome under the hood now. So Google beat MS to browser market dominance, and now MS is using their browser as a platform to go after Google's core business. Neat. I think this tech is going to be transformative for ev…

>of course Edge is Chrome under the hood Embrace, Extend. That's the beauty of open source, right? If development and innovation slows, somebody can fork.

This is the longterm strength of the GPL over MIT/BSD.

I don’t feel much empathy for Chrome given that they did the exact same embrace/extend strategy with WebKit. He who lives by the sword will die by the sword…

I think Microsoft is entering a potential market just by chance based on vague, if at all, product ideas.

So far GPT has been trained with data generated by humans. Curious how the quality of it's output will change once it gets fed with AI generated data.
