I swear search has been bastardized just so you have to go ask AI questions

remember in the 90s when everyone thought access to knowledge at your fingertips would lead to world peace. now the Internet gets scrubbed to sell you another knockoff Roomba you don't want

Putin doesn't use internet. Anyway, how's your roomba?

I can see AI maybe become the default for searching. I almost use it instead of Google

We check Google only first page or so. AI is like searching the equivalent of ten pages maybe. Interesting, in Google you could measure popularity of your requested information by position a bit but AI doesn't have such thing giving you the idea it's a common question.

But regarding side effects from polio vaccine, ever seen the information that comes with paracetamol regarding side effects? All is possible but get none of them afaik. Long time ago, I don't use dem paracetamol anymore. Doesn't work imho

no, it has just been pumped full of page ranking, relevancy algorithms and featured content. "search engines" haven't been about search for a long time, but about advertisements.

the outcome would not have changed - at all - in a world without AI.

I want a roomba so I can attach a knife to it and play the most exciting game of tag ever invented, all over my kitchen carpet.

Live dangerously.

1. Build robots that stab things.

2. Have carpet in your kitchen.

@Wisecrack robowars was such a cool TV program

@retoor it was, it was. Haven't seen it in ages.

Incidentally I thought it was called robot wars, unless I'm thinking of something different.

@Wisecrack I'm also not 100% sure on the name. But homemade robots that bash eachother indeed. With flamethrowers / big pneumatic hammers / bladesaws. It's on YT with very bad quality
