@isotopp I like Step 2, the search string is so concise!

I guess LMGTFY will have to update their redirection.

[m303@bonn.social]

@isotopp So will you get only results of the Google index of 2004?

Währenddessen läuft leise im Hintergrund "We Didn’t Start the Fire" von Billy Joel...

[lbcp@social.linux.pizza]

@isotopp That's equally funny and super sad.

[terminhell@mastodon.social]

@m303 @isotopp probably still more useful

[ascyltos@akkoma.ascyltos.social]

@isotopp mmmm, a tasty exponentially more compute spent for google to provide the same results it did previously

[karolherbst@chaos.social]

@isotopp new browser extension idea: prompt inject websites to revert to old pre "AI" behavior...

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@isotopp So how long until Google discontinues Google Search completely & they only have their LLM?

[clergyman@infosec.exchange]

@isotopp Step 2: Stop trying to fix a product that the company intentionally broke. Switch to something else already.

(in no particular order)

• search.brave.com
• noai.duckduckgo.com
• mojeek.com
• qwant.com
• ecosia.org
• oceanhero.today
• kagi.com ($)
• searxng (self-host)

@isotopp @ernie tagging Ernie to update udm14 article

[tbodt@mastodon.social]

@mathew @isotopp https://udm14.com still works

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@clergyman @isotopp whoosh

[larsmb@mastodon.online]

@jackemled @isotopp Google PM sunsetting a stable product because it doesn't grow exponentially anymore?

That seems ridiculous and never happens.

[nuthatch@infosec.exchange]

@ratsnakegames @clergyman @isotopp classic mastodon tho

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@larsmb @isotopp You're absolutely right. It has never happened to Google Hangouts, Google+, Chromecast, Google Play Music, or Google Stadia. These products are still available today. I won't make this mistake again.

This reply was not machine generated. I just thought it was funny.

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@isotopp Watch them fix this prompt connection by the end of today.

[earthshine@masto.hackers.town]

@isotopp LMAO
