@nemobis@mamot.frMajor search engines are so broken these days, that LLMs are better at producing deterministic results. I was looking for a document containing three strings, and got zero results. The "AI" chat immediately found it. This is not due to some language analysis feature (it was an exact match on English words, no declensions or anything needed).
Today again I was looking for a news article matching some keywords and got no results.

@dhuyvetter@mastodon.socialPrice-fixing cartels are driving up the cost of living for all Americans, including Trump's base, in order to make oligarchs better off.
Trump's fruitless search for a goreable ox: You can keep billionaires happy, or you can fight the cost of living crisis, but not both.

@ruth_mottram@fediscience.orgHave just started using Ente for secure, privacy focused photo back up and organisation.
So far I am actually pretty impressed. It's lightning fast and very easy to navigate - and I have tens of thousands of photos that it's definitely helping me to organise and search through easily. And share with non-Ente users too.
It's miles better than Flickr as a UI experience.
This is a test period before I decide if I migrate rest of family too.
However, I was under the impression the company was German/Dutch but it unfortunately appears to be US incorporated - even though the servers are supposed to be in NL, F and DE. It just makes me very suspicious that at some point the company will be sold off and the creeping enshittification will start again.
It is very frustrating. I could but am not very keen to self host. I have far too many other things going on in my life for that. But it does look like immich or memories for nextcloud is the only other good option. And this probably epitomises why most people just stick with (mostly US) big tech. It is so much easier and less effort than working out what the alternatives are.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioFound an actually useful use case for "Apple Intelligence", my package tracking app uses it (fully on device) to transform Amazon product names into human-readable text; so instead of a 3-line 25-word search-optimized product name you get something like "power strip".
In this case it's also both completely inconsequential if it gets it slightly wrong and it never goes to a data center or anything.
Of course maybe it would be better if Amazon product names aren't completely out of line go start with—or even more ideally I wouldn't need to buy anything from them (I often can't for various reasons, like disability, distance to brick-and-mortar stores and prices.)
@joxean@mastodon.socialI would rather use a ouija and read my horoscope better than trusting google's search AI view results.

@stev3yd@social.linux.pizzaFound this useful tool called Hister. Basically your search history with better capabilities. I often will stumble across something, forget to save it and recalling it is hit-or-miss if I can remember the title of the page I am thinking of. This makes it easier. It makes a local copy of the text and adds search capabilities to sites you have visited in the past.
Forgot what Grim Dawn build I was working on. Searched for it and found it from my browsing history.
Another great tool…
