"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Kagi is great. I have realized that I prefer that I’m paying with my money instead of my personal information to use it.
And I was able to use their free tier pretty effectively for awhile, until I got to the point where I was consistently exceeding the free monthly searches. Plus I feel good supporting them.
I'm also a kagi user and I think the service they provide is good.
I would say that paying for a service cannot always save you. Any public company cannot deny 2 revenue streams and it doesn't take long before they will take your money and sell your data.
You can pay Google for YouTube but they still harvest your data.
That’s a good qualification. Not all paid services are inherently good.
So far, Kagi seems to be. But remain suspicious!
