Kagi AI generated summary. (I had to do it)

The web has become an extraordinary public resource, but it is now at risk of being destroyed by the advent of AI. Generative AI models like large language models (LLMs) are disrupting the traditional relationship between writers/creators and their audiences. LLMs can synthesize answers to queries, cutting out the original creators and leading to the rise of “large language model optimization” (LLMO) - manipulating AI outputs to serve special interests. This threatens to degrade the quality of information on the open web, as creators may stop producing content for the public commons. To preserve the web, search engines need to act more like publishers, platforms need to nurture human creative communities, and AI developers must recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy web ecosystem for their own benefit.

Exactly! We need HIPPA style laws covering all personal data.

So it doesn’t actually matter if Kagi can do something SearXNG can’t.
It’s cheaper. No argument with that.

Because it’s not just that.

So I only have to find one thing Kagi can do, that SearXNG can’t?
Then what?

It always seemed like a massive amount of money and effort, to replace a couple dozen low wage workers. In the end it didn’t even do that.

Notification controls on android are pretty great in my experience.

Most apps (good ones anyway) breakdown different types of notifications, and you can turn off the ones you don’t want. And if they don’t, you can just turn off all notifications for that app entirely.

It all works pretty well.

“It came up with more or less the same recommendations. Though it didn’t fully understand the specific target goals of your project, so our recommendations are more complete and actionable ready.”

What you just described is roughly exactly how the internet actually does work. There are some additional details as you suggested, to make it usable. But that’s the basic foundation.

pick an instance that plans to defederate with them and you’re golden.

That’s not how this works. This is a threat to the concept of the fediverse. It doesn’t matter what instance any of us picks.

Threads already has hundreds of millions of users. Once they activate ActivityPub, they will be hundreds of times larger than the rest of the Fediverse combined. Instantly we will be a tiny minority of the users of this platform. That will give Meta unimaginable influence over this platform and technology.

I’m not sure I can spell it out more clearly.

This is why I’m in favor of not having await and see policy toward Threads. The safest thing to do is assume they’re lying.

Threads users aren’t Fediverse users. Meta isn’t another instance. Even former Meta employees should be treated with extreme suspicion for years if they try to defect.

Nobody who’s ever worked for “Big Social” should be allowed to touch the ActivityPub standard. It should be obvious that their livelihood goes against what it stands for.

They are? That’s me also. I assumed I was getting a price hike. Why do you think we aren’t losing our 8$?

This is called double dipping. Every end point pays for their usage already.

If you just want some spare cable. I’d make 5x 20M pieces. The one that doesn’t work becomes 2x 10M. That bad one becomes 2x 5M … As far down as you like.

I’m not sure what the importance is of her being an Attention Seeker. Could you explain how that matters?
