THIS ISN'T HOW IT LOOKED BEFORE I DON'T LIKE WHEN THINGS CHANGE :spazzin:

witnessing asians being dumb is weirdly inspiring

@Wrest I mute porn bots but I don't generally mute users who just post porn since they don't typically post it AT you. I just stick to my home timeline.
If they post uncensored nsfw, especially 3D stuff, that will normally get you instamuted. There was a guy who was cool and I had no problem with but he would not stop posting irl tits unprovoked in the middle of a conversation so I just had to permamute him. Shame.
-
@charlie_root @Wrest I think he was on FSE yes. Had a cat avatar. He was like "I post tits because I like them" okay nigga yeah but we don't want that uncensored on our timelines.

@fantasia @FrailLeaf ddg is horrific. I've done a lot of cross referencing tests and google passes most of them, kagi passes most of them at a higher rate, brave search passes most of them (slightly less than google) and duckduckgo just eats shit. If you're looking to get away from google for free you should check brave search.
I hear people have good results with bing but its interface makes me want to shoot myself

As a research tool, I've discovered that you should be viewing LLMs less like an oracle and more like a metal detector. You're in a vast ocean of garbage that is the internet and LLMs are not going to be able to tell you exactly what to do or exactly where to dig to find your perfect artifact. They'll get you really close to it, though, and that beats the hell out of excavating the entire landscape for weeks.
-
@FrailLeaf even when it lies it can often give you keywords to search for that you had no idea about. You just should never take its instructions without verifying first.
-
@FrailLeaf I run into multiple examples per day where queries give wildly unrelated results to what I searched for on both google and kagi. Consulting an LLM via kagi almost always gives me alternative links that end up being useful to the topic. If you use modern google for anything you should be well aware that many queries return total nonsense that wasn't even related to what you asked as the top results.
As for your example: that's why you look up the user ratings first.
-
@FrailLeaf operators don't really work on google anymore (eg: quotes) unless you're talking about something as basic as filtering sites.
And yes, all LLMs can do is gather consensus from internet idiots. If you have access to a real expert, that's always better.
As for what model I am using, Kagi offers a few services. There are gpt 3-4 proxies as well as Claude. They have a service called "quick answer" which is stunningly accurate and I've gotten to where I just click it by default instead of sifting through results. I don't know what model that is but it blows everything else out of the water.
-
@FrailLeaf it's a paid service but you can sign up for a trial to use quick answer https://kagi.com

@FrailLeaf kagi is excellent. I don't have a single complaint. I've been using it for months and I simply have no need for google anymore outside of the occasional morbid curiosity of the distorted results they serve for certain questions.
Outside of their AI stuff, their raw search results are better than google because they lack paid inflated page rank scores. They don't go back to the level of 2014 search (which was the pinnacle of technology) but they are strictly an upgrade from google. Like I said though their quick answer stuff is something that google completely lacks and saves me multiple hours per day in research.
