I just tried it (free account), and it felt underwhelming, not many search results, or particularly interesting ones, for the image and video stuff I searched.

There was little to no spam, though, but not much to look at either. Maybe it might be useful when searching for stuff that usually has high amount of confusing spam, but otherwise not really useful for me...


Kagi is still very weak for searching for videos and images. For those, I still use Google.

Kagi really shines when you are doing a standard search, though, which is what most people do most of the time.


Terrible article.

The crucial info that's missing from the article is that they used AI to translate whale language to human, and then from human to whale again.

So there was, in fact, a conversation, mediated by AI; a lot like using Google Translate to talk to a whale.

Wait for a better article on it.


The paper is linked in the article:

Ah woops I posted this in the main thread before I saw this comment, thanks


Thank you, I was really hoping this was the case, this is a pet topic of interest of mine.


A pet whale topic?


interestingly, it puts us in a room adjacent to that of a famous thought experiment from philosophy, John Searle's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_room


Gemini Pro, with arguably comparable quality to GPT4, competes with GPT4 with its superior pricing and speed.

If you actually use Gemini Pro, you will find that it gives nearly instantaneous full responses, which makes me use it more than even GPT4 Turbo for a lot of quick questions. And certainly more than Bing AI with GPT4, which is so slow and awkward to use and which I gave up on.

It's something that doesn't get discussed: speed and pricing, with near top quality. That's maybe how Google is planning to win for now.


Google's own benchmarking shows that Gemini Pro is just slightly better than GPT 3.5 and Gemini Ultra is comparable to GPT 4 (see their technical paper).


So is 4chan nowadays.

Don't expect them to stay confined to one forum all the time.

It's actually more effective to demotivate, undermine and exhaust political opponents with pointlessness, knee-jerk cruelty and rudeness, and blatant stupidity than to try to change their minds, by the way.


If they get a gun, she can get a bazooka.


The cameras are not there to stop crime, anyway, but to spy on and inform interference with the lives of all citizens for the benefit and power of government officials.


Meta/Facebook instilled such hatred and distrust against themselves by their behavior, which continues to this day and will continue in the future, that people are happier to seek out feasible alternatives to anything they produce.


People don't own the stuff they paid for, by design.

Pirate it or get it in Blu-ray.
