Someone actually built a Chrome extension to "Hide annoying Google AI Overviews". LOL. Right now it only has 2,000 users, but I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches millions in a few months when SGE (Search Generative Experience) will be rolled out globally. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hide-google-ai-overviews/neibhohkbmfjninidnaoacabkjonbahn Duckduckgo is also releasing similar tech using AI .

  @artfulrobot @adorabilis @joe_vinegar yeah, the "funny" thing is that their slogan is "Kagi. Humanize the Web". I wonder how long before they drop it just like Google dropped the "Don't be evil" 😉

  @adorabilis @joe_vinegar I've been using Kagi for a few months now. If you don't like AI and LLM, then stay away from them too because they have been integrating it for months now (not just in the separate Summariser or Chat bot, but also in the quick answers)

  @andreagrandi @adorabilis @joe_vinegar yes, #kagi is really good EXCEPT the unwanted, unnecessary carbon spewing #ai which they seem to be leaning on more and more. Thinking of canceling my subscription.

  @joe_vinegar Kagi is paid but worth every penny. There’s a free trial (no cc required) so you can evaluate it. The devs are very responsive on Discord and the feedback forum. I’m fascinated by their ethos and direction. https://kagi.com

    Folksonomy
    
    Folksonomy is a classification system in which end users apply public tags to online items, typically to make those items easier for themselves or others to find later. Over time, this can give rise to a classification system based on those tags and how often they are applied or searched for, in contrast to a taxonomic classification designed by the owners of the content and specified when it is published. This practice is also known as collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging. Folksonomy was originally "the result of personal free tagging of information [...] for one's own retrieval", but online sharing and interaction expanded it into collaborative forms. Social tagging is the application of tags in an open online environment where the tags of other users are available to others. Collaborative tagging (also known as group tagging) is tagging performed by a group of users. This type of folksonomy is commonly used in cooperative and collaborative projects such as research, content repositories, and social bookmarking. The term was coined by Thomas Vander Wal in 2004 as a portmanteau of...

  @andreagrandi @artfulrobot @adorabilis @joe_vinegar As of this writing, there's only about 28,000 users and that's very small with no major bump. At this rate, they'll likely suffer the same fate as Neeva and pivot hard back to AI.

  @joeo10 @artfulrobot @adorabilis @joe_vinegar interesting read, thanks! I was aware of many of these things unfortunately. My issue is that I can’t find anything better at the moment. If I did, I would unsubscribe immediately.
