I decided to run a local llm and give it search access. I told it to summarize an Amazon product page as I didn’t think it would get past the anti bot measures. I was correct, it couldn’t. However it went ahead and visited the manufacturers webpage and a different review site and gave me a summary of the product all on its own. Freaked me out a little bit that it did that.

AGI will still be six months away. There will be ai specific chips with the model baked into them like what is being developed right now so you won’t need excessive amounts of ram to run it. People will have stopped learning to code so coding languages will no longer be developed or there will be ai specific coding language or the ai will use assembly language for better efficiency. It will remain mostly useless to the average person but it will continue to be used to influence peoples beliefs and spread misinformation. College degrees will be completely irrelevant and we’ll have to have some kind of different way to judge people’s ability. We’ll probably use ai to test that.

Yes it’s that reddit sucks ass.

You could write a bash script to do it and perform searches from the terminal. It will open a new tab or window in your browser with the term you entered with the appropriate settings. Then set the bash script as an alias to make it easier to use. I found a similar script and modified it for ddg. doesn’t seem to work 100% though, per usual it works on my machine, as-is no warranty, you need to install jq first if you already haven’t.

#!/bin/bash

# Check if a search term was provided
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 <search_term>"
    exit 1
fi

# URL encode the search term (handles spaces and special characters)
encoded_search=$(printf '%s' "$1" | jq -sRr @uri)

# Construct the DuckDuckGo search URL with a date filter for content before Jan 1, 2020
duckduckgo_url="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%24encoded_search&ia=web&t=h_&df=on&dfdate=before-2020-01-01"

# Open the URL in a new browser tab (works with most common browsers)
xdg-open "$duckduckgo_url" 2>/dev/null || open "$duckduckgo_url"

In no particular order, Vivaldi, ironfox , duck duck go, librewolf, Firefox, chromium. All for different reasons and things.

Where are you getting ads? I have it all blocked everywhere.

It would wildly fuck with enterprise systems because you would have to have a way to verify age for the users of EVERY system. The way it is now you would have to verify the age of users of iot and smart devices. You have to have id to turn on your lights or use the refrigerator.

Probably sold it to a hospital system so that they can scuttle it and make more money from cancer patients.

The current government has set the tone and workers and managers are cutting corners because it’s “liberal bullshit”. There’s no reason for this stuff to happen other than incompetence .
