I think some of these folded because of the lack of competitive management, though also because of the long tradition of buying and selling websites, whereby competitor websites eventually take over market share. For example:

In June 2011, Specific Media Group and Justin Timberlake jointly purchased the Myspace for approximately $35 million. On February 11, 2016, it was announced that Myspace and its parent company had been purchased by Time Inc. for $87 million. Time Inc. was in turn purchased by Meredith Corporation on January 31, 2018.

Before the CIA got involved with Facebook, it was already popular, just not mass surveillance level of popular.

I never got the whole appeal of sharing personal experiences like pictures through a corporation. The popularity of Facebook only signals to me how incredibly stupid and shallow the average person is. Kind of similar to Reddit in a way, which has no values left from when it was founded; it was fun to be on Reddit, until it became the Chinese misery it is today.

Social media is essentially dead already, because there is no way to figure out what's real and what's fake anymore in the long term; imagine that twenty million trolls have an AI PC in five years with locally running LLMs. There's no way to filter that spam.

If you have real friends, you would actually visit them and show them your vacation pictures on your phone or hook them up to some projector or better yet: take them on said vacation. Shared experiences have value, some shitty picture of you near some place where millions of tourists visit every year is completely worthless.

It's not reasonable to expect me to keep records of every corrupt thing every website does just incase you want to see it one day. There have been many times where people tried to research things like government websites changing definitions to follow political narratives, news websites reporting things one way then changing that report, Wikipedia entries getting white washed, and the evidence for it was links to wayback logs only for those logs to dissappear when the stroy gains traction.

I did a search, and while your claim could be valid, I could not confirm it, but I may not know what to look for to see a political bias. If you or u/WoodyWoodPecker could confirm this with an example, that would be more convincing of bias.

Perhaps the Wayback Machine could solve this problem if they wanted. Here is a forum at the Wayback Machine with a possible explanation:

i think it is due to the fact that socials (Facebook, twitter, instagram) require to access to your account in order to see the post. But the archiver is a bot and has no account linked, so it must be redirecting to some login blank page and getting stuck there i guess (?).

Another archiving service also cannot archive the Twitter posts: Archive.today

So, this problem is not just at the Wayback Machine.

Using this archive, I found a video documenting World War II from the perspective of the Dutch (Netherlands/Holland). It's obviously a propaganda film, but it reminds me that the war was fought, as most other wars, over material resources and worldly wealth. The lives of these men that fought for such causes were lived in vain, never coming to the realization of the truth. And how are they enjoying those worldly riches now.... in the grave?

https://coleccion.aw/show/?BNA-DIG-EXT-PERISCOPE-42894

One of the most striking revelations from the film was that the Dutch intentionally flooded their own land. With a little searching into other sources, I see the purposeful flooding caused crop losses and food shortages, leading many deceived people into entering "hunger camps". Whoever controls the food supply, controls those people who have no faith in God as their Provider.

Remember this as you see the destruction of our food sources today. Their end goal is to get the world to deny the Lord, get chipped and be enslaved to God's adversary for eternity. Jesus is the only choice that leads to freedom.

Excellent points.

I think it's a relatively well-written silly rant, an intentionally unbalanced work of rant literature.

Whereas the monetization of online activities is to be expected, I agree that we can avoid much of this, at the moment. The title is of course misleading because this monetization of activities is BECAUSE of a useful internet. The paradox is that we're victims of our support of and addiction to the internet. Avoiding the internet often helps.

You should learn to articulate your ideas better and you should understand that I am not merely a "developer". You still have not provided an equation for what is required to happen before a locally running LLM is going to crush Google Search + a big tech implementation of LLMs. Let's say all uses of Google Search are done by LLM agents, then do you not think Google will simply start charging for API access? So, whoever implements an LLM still needs an API for rank based search, if alone to be able to verify sources.

I think you are literally incapable of providing a multi-agent differential equation describing the economics surrounding LLMs.

If you want to do another attempt, you should just assume that I am much smarter than you will have be or have been in your life and have more experience. Just describe an actual vision of the future (also specify how many years in the future you are describing) based on actual plausible physics.

Drewski · 2024-04-08T04:02:51+00:00

You want to order from a local restaurant, but you need to download a third-party delivery app, even though you plan to pick it up yourself. The prices and menu on the app are different to what you saw in the window. When you download a second app the prices are different again. You ring the restaurant directly and it says the number is no longer in service. You go to the restaurant and order in person. You mention that their website has the wrong number and the woman behind the counter says they have to contact the company who designed the site for changes, which will cost them, but most people just order through an app anyway.

There are plenty of restaurants with working phone numbers, use one of those instead. Bonus points for telling the offending restaurant why you won't be ordering from them.

You want to watch the trailer for an upcoming movie on YouTube but you first have to sit through an ad. Then you sit through a preview for the trailer itself. Then you watch the trailer, which is literally another ad. When it ends, it cues up a new trailer, with a new ad at the start of it.

Use a web frontend for Youtube like Piped or Invidious. Or one of the many unofficial apps that block ads such as FreeTube, Newpipe and SmartTube. Or download videos directly using a tool like yt-dlp.

The first page of Google results are links to pages that have scraped other pages for information from other pages that have been scraped for information. All the sources seem to link back to one another. There is no origin. The photos on the page look weird. The hands are disfigured. There is no image credit.

Search engines have certainly gotten worse, and will continue to decline as more AI content floods the net. You can get better results for now if you're willing to pay for a search engine like Kagi, or Searxng if you have time to tinker.

Your coworker sends you a PowerPoint pack to support a presentation you are giving to the executive committee, but you can’t make heads or tails of it. You call them over Zoom and they tell you they used ChatGPT to write it. You point out that it is near-unreadable, and they ask what specifically is wrong with it. You mention that, for starters, there are too many words on each slide. They tell you they’ll take care of it. They send you a new pack within the hour saying they asked ChatGPT to remove 30% of the text. It makes even less sense. You tell them you’ll just rewrite it yourself.

Your coworker is dumb, can't help too much with this one.

A billionaire got mad, bought your favourite social media site and ran it into the ground. A different billionaire got mad, bought the magazine site you liked to read on your lunchbreak and shut it down completely. A third billionaire did what they do best, bought the app you use for networking and sold it off for parts.

Seems inevitable with centralized social media. I've witnessed the rise and fall of digg, reddit and many others. Start using and promoting decentralized and federated social media such as Mastodon, Lemmy/Kbin, Nostr and others.

You want to watch a TV show from your youth so you check a streaming service, but it is not there, so you check a second streaming service but it is not there, so you check a third streaming service and it is not there. You search for it on Blu-ray but it doesn’t exist, so you search for it on DVD but it is out of print. You find a seller on eBay who has it, but the listing reads ambiguous as to whether it is the real thing or a burnt copy. You message the seller and they reply with an automated response thanking you for your interest.

Gabe Newell (Valve Corporation, Steam software) famously said that piracy is an issue of service, not price. Netflix started out as a great alternative to cable television but now all these streaming services are trying to suck as much profit out of the viewer as possible in a race to the bottom. Time to sail the seven seas, and make these corporations earn our subscriptions again.

You can’t read the recipe on your phone because it prioritises the ads on the page. You bring your laptop into the kitchen and whenever you scroll down, you have to close a pop-up. You turn AdBlock on and the page no longer loads, then AdBlock sends you an ad asking for money.

Your adblocker shouldn't be asking you for money, use uBlock Origin instead.

The Airbnb charges you a $150 cleaning fee, but insists the place needs to be left spotless. There will be a fee if the bedding hasn’t been stripped and the dishwasher hasn’t been emptied.

Airbnbs have declined significantly over past years. What used to be a great bargain is often times not as good as a hotel for the same price or cheaper. If you must use AirBNB look over the listing to see if there are any unreasonable cleaning requirements before booking.

Your Uber driver is lost because his app hasn’t updated and keeps telling him to turn down streets that no longer exist. You still give him five stars.

Never had this happen out of the many times I've used Uber, but not much you can do here I guess.

Your mother sends you a link to a breaking story, but the article is behind a paywall, so you switch to the website where you do pay for news but there’s no mention of it.

Use the bypass-paywalls browser plugin or archive.today website to get around paywalls.

You buy a microwave and receive ads for microwaves. You buy a mattress and receive ads for mattresses.

Strangers on social media assume you are American and get mad when you correct them.

All Google needs to do is push a main stream narrative, because otherwise they won't have eyeballs anymore.

Google does not have to push any narrative. It is morally corrupt of them to push a narrative, even if their intentions are good.

It seems you are incredulous about the potential of implementation because you are coming from a developer's perspective in which you are practiced in fitting ideas into existing architectures because you build software systems that have to work on current hardware. From my perspective I see that hardware changes very rapidly and I see that LLM's built on transformers do not behave like all other software, a fact that I constantly see developers not understand. Maybe I am wrong and you are right, but I am going to have to disagree. I don't think I can change your mind but I think you should try to keep an open mind in the future as you watch the space evolve, and keep an eye out for search agents and potential ways to improve search for everyone.

binaryblob · 2024-04-07T09:26:25+00:00

How would every single individual defend against misinformation? They can't. All Google needs to do is push a main stream narrative, because otherwise they won't have eyeballs anymore. You seem to assume this magical anti-misinformation technology is going to be available open-source .

I think full text regular expression search for the web or some subset of the web would be interesting to have, but even that requires tremendous resources. Searching without any index is just not realistic.

binaryblob · 2024-04-07T09:20:30+00:00

Google uses neural networks in their ranking function since a long time. You can't go and search the entire Internet for every single query, because it would cost $10000/query (or whatever big number it is). So, you still need an index somewhere. An agent would still take the action "find in some index" and that index needs to be created and paid for by someone. In your world, everyone has their own index or there is some shared index (that could work, but is very much not popular). There are all kinds of reasons why this is not going to work, but I asked you how it is going to work and you have not said anything specific. It's almost as if you are a LLM.

Canbot · 2024-04-06T17:25:51+00:00

I think the big disconnect is that you think an AI search engine will work like a traditional search engine. Forget that completely. Imagine you have an assistant and you ask them to research something for you. They are not going to reach into their briefcase and pull out the research. They are going to go do the research.

An AI search engine will be an agent that is optimized for searching the web, overcoming censorship, evading subversion and manipulation and curating the results so instead of getting 50 garbage results from google that you have to parse through yourself and never get what you really want because it is wrong think you instead get 5 results of exactly what you want, and a professional quality summary of it all.

Canbot · 2024-04-06T17:18:50+00:00

A LLM would still need an index for high performance

Forget high performance and think free from manipulation and data collection. As time goes on google's appetite for control grows. As google gets more and more tyrannical people grow more desperate for alternatives. There will be a tipping point when the quality of the alternative and the demand for an alternative cross and then everyone will abandon google for the alternative.

binaryblob · 2024-04-06T13:23:06+00:00

I am looking for an answer based on the economics of the operation. You are not making any sense. A LLM would still need an index for high performance, because otherwise you would have a search engine that is behind all the time.

If I were to stand on the street with a free computer with a Google interface builtin (but not depending on Google), people would still not want to have it, because "they can just use Google".

It was possible at least a decade ago already to run a distributed search engine node locally and even share resources for free. I know, because I did. I would say the key enabling technology for fast big indices is fast and large SSDs.

The thing is that even if it is relatively cheap, the utilization of the hardware would be so low that it would be an economic waste for the 99.5% of the time you aren't using the search engine (Google just serves another customer).

I think you are severely overestimating human intelligence; unless it's built into Windows it's not going to happen at a mass scale (and I am saying that as a Linux user). Surely, perhaps a million people will do it, but we have billions of people.

If there is a killer app, then perhaps it will happen.

Canbot · 2024-04-06T10:19:56+00:00

Building a search engine is not as simple as pinging every ip and cataloging it. The software and algorithms used to make it work need a developer. That is exactly what AI does best. Local search would require a massive database.

An open source LLM can already ping random ip's, analyze the page in a very sophisticated way, and do just about anything based on the results. Anyone can set it up with very minimal understanding of computers or software, and run it on easily affordable hardware. That has never been remotely possible before.

The vast majority of people are indeed too lazy and stupid to ever bother doing it when they don't even understand that Google is mind fucking them by controlling everything they get to see. But the tools will be built by the exceptions, then get talked about on tech blogs and spread by influencers. It will be so easy to use even the morons will pick it up if only to feel like they are part of the smart crowd.

The future of search is AI powered private web crawlers, and millions of independent repositories

Can you substantiate that claim? The first version of Google Search could run on hardware that's weaker than a current workstation level laptop. Why isn't local search for more than 5% of users a thing? Why is there no iSearch Apple product running locally to destroy Google?

Your vision of the future would hold true if people were 1) wealthy 2) not stupid 3) not lazy.

Google search will never survive a free and open AI alternative. Whatever they are cooking up as far as offerings is on the back burner while behind the scenes they are all hands on deck trying to figure out how to get AI regulated, crippled, and delayed.

They have every lawyer and propagandist putting together portfolios to fear monger about the dangers of AI. The only thing holding them back is they haven't figured out how to contain open source and foreign AI.

The future of search is AI powered private web crawlers, and millions of independent repositories. The biggest obstacle is going to be ISP level censorship.

The title's lacks some detail. It's a consortium, not just Rumble.

Let's wait and see what the jewish payment for it will be. I bet they buy it up for far less than 84 billion.

YoMamma · 2024-03-17T21:05:07+00:00

In 2023 TikTok's brand value was $84 billion.

Rumble has an enterprise value is $1.90 billion.

Rumble can't make an appropriate offer.

A rather ironic name, considering that Getty Images' business model is to monitor unauthorized use of their copyrighted images and sue anyone they can take on.

A dynamic interplay where artificial intelligence exhibits remarkable capabilities in computation, while humans offer creativity, empathy, and adaptability, shaping a complex relationship driving innovation and progress.

A search engine cannot make money by nimbly leading you to webpages free of charge. The real money is in hiding pages

This is what search engines have been for a decade now. AI offers the potential to save us from their tyranny. An AI can crawl the web in search of whatever you want. The last hurdle will be ISP's blocking content directly. Of course there will be some room to mitigate that with VPN's. Intelligent web crawlers and AI agents will become the tools of every "hacker" collective and hobby group.

Advocates for Bluesky and Mastadon, both of which are more censorious than Twitter 1.0.

Reddit also couped all the major subreddits and did a mass banning back in 2015, when they partnered with CRT (candidate Hillary Clinton's Correct The Record) in the year leading up to the election.

Never waste your time creating communities for Reddit. They took all mine without a reason, warning, and with no way to ask for reconsideration.

They were benign, boring, subreddits, which I spent months working hard to develop a viewership. They were all banned in one swath with no reason. My account was banned and administrators (not lowly mods) picked through my whole account by hand, before giving it back, all filthy and defiled by their rape. I spent months trying to get one of their many broken, useless, means of begging for reconsideration, but nothing actually elicited a response at all. Only ridicule from users while you are forced to publicly beg.

This is how reddit works.

The alternative is "an error occurred (status: 403)" please refresh the page 12 times so Cloudlare can rape your browser's ass some more and image your penis for verification. This website is purposely broken to discourage use and force tracking if you do.

Sad though - everything is slowly moving towards walled gardens controlled by a few. Using LLMs for search only moves people away from websites and further into walled gardens.

Its been dead. Ever since the advent of web 2.0 and the obliteration of the financial barrier to access the internet we have witnessed the rise of the lowest fodder of society populating every aspect of the internet to disasterous results.

Can't agree with that. Internet 2.0 started in 2007, and the Internet was fun from 2007-2014.

It was around 2014 where this was this huge cultural shift where people began to demand censorship and enforced civility, and for the last decade the Internet - as well as media culture - have really fucking sucked. There's hardly been anything good in the last decade - certainly not when compared to the two before it.

Things have only worsened ever since the establishment jews caught wind of it and have subverted every corner.

X might represent Satan because it represents time. Like in multiplication. Math is a secret code.

You make a good point that 666 can be seen in their logo: backwards 6 in three colors. TikTok was created in China in 2016, showing that 666 is worldwide, as prophesied in the book of Revelation. No one in the world will be able to buy or sell without being marked as a slave to the beast. But Jesus has provided a way of escape. Those that stay faithful to him until the end, and reject the mark of the beast, shall be saved.

Jiminy · 2024-03-08T14:32:27+00:00

Tik tok logo looks like backward 6, has 3 stacked on each other so it's 666 in a mirror. Tik tok is the sound of a clock, it represents time. Saturn the god of time requires child sacrifices. Tik tok has led to children deaths with their dangerous challenges.

Because China doesn't want us to more closely scrutinize the discussions about the CIA.

That's true. The reasons given for using cloud flare 403 here don't pass the smell test. It's symbolic agreeing to something for forbidden knowledge.

I have several fake phone numbers and fake emails. I'm sure they can still track me but it's to avoid calls from marketers or spam email in my main ones.

In-the-clouds · 2024-03-07T16:46:15+00:00

I am not seeing any errors on Saidit.... just the Cloudflare blockade. Maybe the problem is with them, as they are the middle man between you and Saidit.

there's lots of free fake ones you could use

Many of the big websites will not accept any email address if it is not tied to your phone number. Will Instagram accept a "free fake" email? They would not allow me to have a working account using my personal email server. And now websites are requiring you to confirm a code that they will send to your cell phone. But how are people going to get the code to unlock their account without a cell phone? The system is not completely locked yet, but if you watch, you will see that it's not only the "idiots", as you call them, getting locked out, but all men.... unless he is identified with the mark of the beast, his name, or the number of his name.

Jiminy · 2024-03-07T16:34:37+00:00

Funny cuz saidit also keeps saying it is 403 forbidden.

Requiring an email is like an idiot test, there's lots of free fake ones you could use. Bad idea to use one you really use for important stuff.

In-the-clouds · 2024-03-07T15:45:09+00:00

If you watch, you will realize that the worldly rulers are pushing for every human being to be identified in their matrix-like system. A 2,000 year-old prophecy warns there will be no buying and selling for any person without an ID. With that, I believe, there will be little to no internet access without the same ID. You can see the trend:

Cannot post online without an account and ID. (Saidit is currently a small exception to that, not requiring an email account.)
Cannot view online content without an "account" or an ID (like flickr and facebook).
To create an account, the big websites usually require an email address and phone number.
If they do not require a phone number (yet) then they require an email address that identifies you. Gmail, for example, requires your phone number to have an email account. Once they have the "number of your name" then you have been branded like their slaves. Instagram would not let me have a working account using my own personal email server.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17

Jesus warned us about this time about 2,000 years ago! He also provides a way of escape. Turn away from sin and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord. He died in your place on the cross so you could be free from this world! But you must turn to him to be saved.
