I’ve heard enough bad things about it to stay well away. Which is too bad bc it’s quite good atm! I just expect it to hoover up my data & get enshittified sooner than later & the CEO is Musk-level BSer 🤷♂️👍
What have you heard and where? I've not seen anything that indicates either of those things
I don't know about beefbot, but this blog convinced me to not use kagi:
Why I Lost Faith in Kagi
Oh really? I never felt like that was convincing in any way especially since lot of the stuff in that blog is just uninformed (for example you don't have to pay taxes in many jurisdictions until you hit a certain threshold)
I'm not gonna try to convince you to use Kagi, but I just don't feel like that blog is full of good reasons not to.
Correct, it was that blog And “Slimy_4og” you sound like one of the many disinformation AI bots farting around now
"You disagree with me so therefore you're an AI bot" sure is a take...
I had someone say that to me, a Maths teacher, when I was trying to tell them where they were going wrong with their Maths! 😂And they were a programmer - no wonder all the e-calcs are wrong... (sigh)
Well, it’s plausible you’ve ingested enough influence from enough propaganda sources that you yourself believe what they’ve told you, & you parrot it back out, which sorta makes you, in the limited context of one comment, functionally indistinguishable from a propaganda worker, who probably has been replaced by an AI bot bc those can do more of that work.
So ya can’t really blame me for the shorthand of just referring to you as one, yknow?
What the hell are you talking about?
