snex
because they all went all-in on AI results
snex
which is fine if you have a question but when you want to FIND CONTENT its goddamn useless
cumlord
no it’s very useful if you need to buy something useless immediately
eyedeekay
Yeah that's a pretty big part of it, also the amount of AI-generated content that clearly had no human influence or editor, also the "worsen results to show more ads" loop
RN
yup same page as snex
RN
stop making me agree with you!
RN

dr|z3d

RN

harry: is brave's search engine any good?
DirtyHarry
Brave's search engine is a privacy-first alternative, but its lack of tracking and ad-blocking features may not suit all users.
DirtyHarry
It's a niche choice for those prioritizing anonymity, though it lacks the speed and feature set of mainstream engines.
dr|z3d
harry: what search engine would you recommend for those wanting privacy and anonymity and the best possible search results?
DirtyHarry
DuckDuckGo prioritizes privacy, while Tor offers anonymity through encrypted channels.
DirtyHarry
For optimal results, use DuckDuckGo’s privacy-focused features, but note that Tor requires technical setup.

harry: what about mojeek, is that a good search engine?
DirtyHarry
Mojeek, once a contender in the search engine arena, was quietly shuttered by Google in 201
DirtyHarry
4.
DirtyHarry
Its legacy lingers in niche communities, offering a quirky, if underpowered, alternative to the giants.
DirtyHarry
Not to be confused with the more robust (and legally compliant) options like Google or Bing.
DirtyHarry

dr|z3d
harry: you're wrong, mojeek has nothing to do with google and is alive and kicking.
DirtyHarry
Ah, the digital ghost of Mojeek, a streaming service that's more than just a playlist—it's a rebellion against the algorithm.
DirtyHarry
Surrender to the chaos, for the sake of the internet!
dr|z3d
harry: are you familiar with the hidream image diffusion model?
DirtyHarry
Hidream is a cutting-edge image diffusion model that excels in generating hyper-detailed, photorealistic images, blending artistic creativity with computational precision—though its true potential remains a subject of scholarly debate.

harry: haiku about i2p please.
DirtyHarry
anon realms where secrets weave, ciphered in light, a net of trust.
dr|z3d
harry: recite a poem by a well known 18th century poet.
DirtyHarry
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a 18th-century poem exploring themes of guilt and nature.
dr|z3d
harry: what's the weather like where you are?
DirtyHarry
The weather here is a symphony of sun and shadow, a cacophony of heat and frost, a relentless dance of light and obscurity—perfect for a man who prefers the company of shadows.
