#Google search engine is gone forever, RIP

I remember using this search engine at Uni back in 199x and thinking how much better than #Lycos and #askjeeves this was

But it's gone. No useful hits, no interesting threads, no hope of "maybe i'll find it on the second page".
Just pages and pages of utter bullshit curated by a computer with a napolean complex.

I hope #duckduck make a good go of it and don't get bought by a cunt...

@robinhood What I want is an AI that will search Google and Bing and whatever and then display search results with no sponsored links, no links to scrapes of #Wikipedia, no Angi, no Yelp, no porn, no Quora or reddit, no AI-generated text, and with the relevant Wikipedia articles and .gov and .edu links at the top, unless I’m shopping. I want to be able to subscribe to it or get it free if I accept one banner ad per page of results. I want #AskJeeves back, with real processing power.

Acclimation is the first step

People are so insistent on just handing over all of their #information and have so little regard for what is done with it.

I used to analyze #information. It’s no #secret what can be harvested or how it can be used.

Just #AskJeeves! (Or Bing, or Google, or…)

#ChatBots #AskJeeves #Search #SearchEngines: "The original conception for Jeeves, Gruener told me, was remarkably similar to what Microsoft and Google are trying to build today. As a student at UC San Diego in the mid-1970s, Gruener—a sci-fi aficionado—got an early glimpse of ARPANET, the pre-browser predecessor to the commercial internet, and fell in love. Just over a decade later, as the web grew and the beginnings of the internet came into view, Gruener realized that people would need a way to find things in the morass of semiconnected servers and networks. “It became clear that the web needed search but that mere mortals without computer-science degrees needed something easy, even conversational,” he said. Inspired by Eliza, the famous chatbot designed by MIT’s Joseph Weizenbaum, Gruener dreamed of a search engine that could converse with people using natural-language processing. Unfortunately, the technology wasn’t sophisticated enough for Gruener to create his ideal conversational search bot."
