I just want to search in my previous chats, apparently you can do this in the app but not in the website last time I checked.

#822Looks like this was timed to coincide with Google adding search grounding data to Gemini API: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42008834 // https://developers.googleblog.com/en/gemini-api-and-ai-studi...
They are taking a page out of Microsoft’s strategy of clouding out all sunlight.
My first memory of something like this was the rushed Google Wave announcement occurring on the same day as a Bing rebranding launch (if memory serves, the domain registration timestamps for the Google domains were also highly coincidental but I've long since forgotten with what)

#823Just in product design terms, why not make this default on?
Re: ChatGPT Search
#824Been thinking about this a lot [1]. Will this fundamentally change how people find and access information? How do you create an experience so compelling that it replaces the current paradigm? The future promised in Star Trek and even Apple's Knowledge Navigator [2] from 1987 still feels distant. In those visions, users simply asked questions and received reliable answers - nobody had to fact-check the answers ever. C…
The whole basis for information and data is totally corrupted and we are not even allowed i.e., enabled to talk about that, let alone the corrupted nature of the information and data, largely because entrenched tyrannical people and their mindsets are in total control of the mainstream and have even made significant headway in shattering the dissident opposition. The consumption side incentives are effectively irrelevant when what is consumed is basically worthless. What’s the value of lies?

#825Search is one of the top ways startups can generate traffic. According to some studies, it delivers 40% of referral traffic to websites. Does an answer engine calcify incumbents and make it harder for new businesses to disrupt them?

"Yes i'd like to help you with your homework but on a side note i'll recommend you this tablet, science shows people who's done this purchase are much happier people, also remember the financial plutocracy is watching out for you, they are friends of the working people, and the war machine makes the world much safer for everyone so please do go ahead and vote for either of the two pro world peace forever parties, no other ideologies or parties are safe"

We have a faulty information network to begin with, and have for millenia. There's no such thing as "reliable" answers in a world full of unreliable humans.

I agree that this is the core question, but I'd put it as: Who Gets To Decide What Is True? With a search paradigm this wasn't an issue as much, because the answers were presented as "here's a bunch of websites that appear to deal with the question you asked". It was then up to the reader to decide which of those sites they wanted to visit, and therefore which viewpoints they got to see. With an LLM answering the que…

It is very similar. Google decides what to present to you on the front page. I'm sure there are metrics on how few people get past the front page. Heck, isn't this just Google Search's business model? Determining what you see (i.e. what is "true") via ads?
In much the same way that the Councils of Carthage chose to omit the acts of Paul and Thecla in the New Testament, all modern technology providers have some say in what is presented to the global information network, more or less manipulating what we all perceive to be true.
Recently advancements have just made this problem much more apparent to us. But look at history and see how few women priests there are in various Christian churches and you'll notice even a small omission can have broad impacts to society.
