My view is that SEO ruined the Internet. Once search results became a thing people gamified it just pushed actually good content out of reach.
Problems of the past could be dealt with, e.g. pop-up ads could be defeated with a pop-up blocker. But you cannot "defeat" not being able to find valuable content in the first place.
And today, with LLMs, it's actually just outright impossible to search for new things without having a preconception of what your actual destination is.
For me the problem isn't the rust implementation itself, but the political attempt to de-fang the GPL by rewriting an important project with a permissive, instead of copyleft, license.
Depraved idiots offer it and gullible idiots accept it.
A usual ramen spot I've been going to for the past few years for some reason replaced the old images of the food on their menu with AI-gen ones and it looked so weird. I saw it last time I went for my usual, but I kept looking at the art and like a Lovecraftian horror the longer I looked at it the worse the details appeared. It literally affected my appetite because psychologically I couldn't help but think I was ordering some freak-ass food as depicted in the new ai-gen pictures, and the ramen just didn't taste as good to me that day. And I don't think I'll go back anymore :(
With friends like the United States who needs enemies?
No, don't you remember? He's a Very Stable Genius™️
Wow, that's impressive!
those classic system software rounded corners were more tastefully done, like on buttons on dialog boxes. not on every literal visual element on the screen. >:(
I wanna chat with those dolphins
This website is aggressively bad. Why does my cursor have to disappear completely when I stop moving and become a gray circle when I do move it? Way over-designed.
Pleading face, as in I sure hope your vision of the future passes
this could equally be headlined as
Macklemore is dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour over anti-genocide comments onstage"
I love Dosbox staging!
When I think of FOSS, and people who are seriously committed to a copyleft future, these names suddenly spring into my mind
IDK why. Generosity, Linux, FLOSS, sharing, GPL... these terms all come to mind when those people's names come up.
Oh wait, no it doesn't.
it's really sad that so man people lingered on this dogshit website after that fuckhead elon musk bought it
Called it. https://lemmy.ml/post/50384280/26832027
Sloppers love it when you do the hard work of maintaining a clean dataset for them to steal.
Not just tech bros. The execs at the company I work for were talking as early as 2025 about trying to get "LLM-optimized" search results, meaning we need to be in the training data and be at the top of the AI overview. It's just SEO bullshit all over again. You don't need big scary Russia to poison AI, our capitalist class will do it eagerly.
oh no not my precious LLMs please anything but my precious LLMs
