      Google wants kids reliant on Big Tech to do the thinking for them. It’s an insidious and much more damaging goal.

    Schools should be self-hosting searxng or something similar. Public education’s reliance on corporations is antiquated and barbaric.

      Unfortunately school boards are not very tech savvy and typically want to go with name brand vendors for everything.

        School boards can blame ignorance but they go where the kickbacks are, which is also barbaric.

    I mean they force us to use it by putting it on top of the actual search results and they don’t realize we just dont fucking want it – im sorry they spent trillions already on it but we’re not paying them for it – that’s on them to eat the money they set in fire.

    Are they disabling search to force an initiative or are they disabling search because they can’t separate it from the AI features anymore?

      Even in the worst case scenario, it would be as easy as making the AI <div> invisible. Which is a 5 minute job. Well, for a bug tech company 10 hours, since they are horribly inefficient. But 10 hours is nothing in order to please a customer at the scale of Google.

      The search is still there. It’s just pushed down by the AI window. Which takes a great part of the screen.

        It would take 5 minutes for the AI to code it and 10 hours for engineers to go through the diff and make sure it does what they told it too. That’s how you think with tokens.

    Google search sucks ass anyway. Better to wean children off of Google sooner rather than later.

      What are the better options, I use DDG for reference. Curious if there is a go too. Haven’t touched Google in years for a search. Do occasionally use their reverse image search no that I think about it.

        DDG is going down in quality. Still acceptable. Startpage yields more assertive results, but it’s a bit slower.

      My phone reset the default search to Google and it was ridiculous. First page was all AI garbage sites and aggregators. I switched back to Bing, slightly less bad, and found my results on the first page. Gotta get DDG on the default list.

      I think he looks like an extra from the matrix who looked too nice to make the final cut. But I know he is badass, and that’s the point :)
