@mhoye And it constantly tries to interpret my keywords as an AI query... "honey, stop telling me what my words mean"...
@promovicz @mhoye I love when it interprets words which don't form any sort of coherent sentence as some sort of nonsense positive assertion and then informs you that you're wrong
@mhoye And you’ve just wasted a few hundred watts for that…😂
@ssamulczyk Yeah, it's not great. I basically always use DDG, but you've reminded me to switch my default to DDG Lite
@mhoye I have gone nuclear and switched to Kagi. Haven’t really done that much research, but DDG seems to be using Microsoft Bing results… I don’t want to be anywhere near MS with my search data…
@mhoye @ssamulczyk DuckDuckGo is a different kind of bad for me: it returns results that Google misses, but it doesn’t seem to also return the results that Google includes. I’m stuck often using DuckDuckGo and Startpage in order to get a full set of results, and Startpage often blocks me because it thinks I’m a bot.
@mhoye It's even more amazing now.
@tewha @mhoye This shit is beyond parody.
@mhoye Oh, how we wish this is the path that will take us to Deckard's casual and effortless navigation of that photograph. How we yearn. Could this be J.A.R.V.I.S!?

10/10 no notes.

@andrew @mhoye @siracusa of course 2024 was not last year. There were years after it

@nikitonsky @mhoye @siracusa

AI is doing to us what I did to a friend in 1996 when I convinced him there was no such thing as 6'1".

"Six one is just six feet. You wouldn't say 'Jaws 1,' would you? It's just Jaws."

@andrew @nikitonsky @mhoye @siracusa remember when damnyouautocorrect was funny? How’d we put autocorrect in charge of our epistemology?
@andrew @mhoye @siracusa I'm glad we have competitors like DuckDuckGo who can focus on their core competencies. Like this search I did on November 18th.

@andrew @mhoye @siracusa Even ChatGPT didn’t want to say “yes.” Instead it said that 2024 was the year before 2025.

Silly LLM.

@andrew @mhoye @siracusa This reminds me of recently trying to convince Claude Code that iOS 26 exists - necessary for debugging why a crash happened in iOS 18 but not 26.

After finally getting it to accept the online sources, it agreed - for roughly two messages. Then it pivoted to using "the lack of iOS 26 events" as evidence for its original theory, completely ignoring the actual crash I was debugging (iOS 18 crashes, iOS 26 doesn't - seems relevant!).

The unprompted 😊 did not help

@andrew @mhoye @siracusa Grok's answer to the same question is ... confused?

@andrew

More evidence that the only job a.i. is fit to replace is Politician.

@mhoye @siracusa

@mhoye To be fair, I consider myself fairly intelligent and my brain is also refusing to believe that it is almost 2026, despite the math.
@mhoye @siracusa This is the "AI" Apple chose to partner with to make Siri smarter.
@mhoye @siracusa Good thing they weren’t using AI to vibe code fixes for the Y2K bug. 🤣
@mhoye PHD level reasoning, sometime next yearr!

@mhoye @siracusa If you use an LLM to learn something, you're stupider than it is.
