  • What a fucking bunch of drivel. Without students and fresh grads our company would have been bankrupt a long time ago. They are the ones who bring a fresh perspective to the company (we engineer machines for the beverage industry) because they haven’t been pushed into a specialist position yet, that breaks any kind of creativity. They are the people that spark a lot of our innovations. If we lose that, the company won’t survive for long. AI can’t do that because AI isn’t fucking creative. Fuck AI and fuck this dumb piece of shit for their dumb fucking take on this.

    Sorry for the incoherent swearing, I’m drunk.

    Love you all, have a great day!





  • I’m not entirely convinced… I don’t like that they use the funds for creating their own AI. It’s entirely optional though, no intrusive AI reply after a search. You have to actively use the function. What I do like is the ability to search forums only and that you can blacklist certain domains. Overall the search results feel more like Google in the past. Just try it out! I believe something like 200 search queries per month are free of charge, so you don’t necessarily have to pay.


  • Welcome, fellow lemming! And what a great post to start out with! You’ve recognized what LLMs (and the simplification of tech for that matter) does with your brain and that in itself is very valuable and shows that you’re already on the right track.

    One of the biggest problems I have is that search engines have turned to shit, probably to boost LLM usage. I have some OK experiences with Kagi as a search engine, but it comes with monthly costs. The other problem is, there are hardly any dedicated forums left anymore. You’ll mostly find things on Reddit and Reddit is a garbage website. Plus, many users have erased their comments after the mass exodus. So, getting hold of correct information has become increasingly difficult.

    I recently nuked my windows partition and installed Cachy OS. At the same time I started building my home server. I’m going to be honest here, without the use of LLMs I would have started to cry in many situations because Linux is not exactly easy to troubleshoot if you’re new to it. However, I started seeing patterns and commands that the LLM frequently suggests. I then went ahead and started researching these things and I have become less reliant on the LLMs over time.

    My suggestion for you is to reclaim tech as your own. That will help get around the use of LLMs as you progress. You’ll also be sticking it to the tech shitlords. And it’s fun! Build your own server, host your own services, get rid of subscriptions, fuck Windows etc. To get things up and running, find communities that are active and can help you on your journey. Communicating with real people that have the same objective as you is way more fulfilling than chatting with a bot.
