What I like about it is that it’s trained on lots of different sources (including, but not limited to Google, and Bing search results). It then strips out the ads, SEO blog spam, and other nonsense and tries to return the most relevant info for my query. It is leagues better than pure Google. Also, it uses its own LLM unrelated to OpenAI.
A bit unfortunate that I got downvoted for having an opinion and sharing it.
I know Lemmy likes to hate on AI, but my default search engine is http://perplexity.ai and it’s great
I’m a huge fan of the fediverse and I didn’t even get the fed reference haha. A typical user surely wouldn’t get it either!
Not a big fan of the name. Even PixelFeed would make more sense.
I can’t stand the topics you mentioned either and I make a big effort to filter them out whenever possible! There’s a tool called https://siftrss.com/ which can be the middle man between you and your RSS feeds. It allows you to filter out any articles containing black listed keywords which is super handy.
My biggest frustration about modern RSS feeds is that the articles are often incomplete. Some clients are able to get the full feed anyway but it usually results in broken formatting.
Here are my favorite news sources:
There are anecdotal stories of people entering higher states of consciousness during near death experiences, extremely deep meditation, holotropic breathing exercises, etc.
Really creative people describe their most proud acts of creation as if the idea came from somewhere else. As if the concept arose independently and they tried their best to relay it into the real world.
As for the people on psychedelic drugs, they usually speak of the higher state of consciousness as being more real than the real world… which would make sense if our usual consciousness was a subset of something bigger.
Different users would see unique ads. So your ad could be 12 seconds long while my ad is 30 seconds long. A timestamp based skip would no longer work universally.
