Why doesn't Googly just buy up the dastardly AI company that's undercutting Googly's traditional high-value search engine business and shut down the AI motherfuckers?

"Hanover FIST!!!!"

Moving fastly

Cops just have to be on the watch for someone withdrawing $2.2B from a 7-11 crypto-ATM.

He's so good at comedy and it's under praised.

He was great on SNL too.

"You young pup!"

Now I'm sad. :(

He used to do a one man show of a Christmas Carol on stage. I never got to see it, but I always imagined it being amazing (based on the fact that it happened more than once... if it were ass, it would not have recurred). While the source material is relatively friendly to the idea, one man shows are hard to do well.

That's optimistic.

The way I see it they have two options:

1) throttle back on AI search and hope they don't lose share to OpenAI

2) enshitify AI search to get more money from it.

2 seems way more likely

Put all bot/agent/AI traffic behind a digital black wall and start Internet 2.0?

If you ask Gemini why Google's search results have gotten so bad, it will give you an honest answer and suggest you use DuckDuckGo instead. Not exactly sure how you monetize "our service is telling our customers to go to our competitors instead" unless you're Macy's and you're in a Christmas movie.

The callous part of me thinks that was the intention from the start: wash out the capable engineers who were competently producing and hire ethnic cohorts who played the game.

It's Amazon. Anything that gets them the metric that they can put in their promo doc is a good thing.

6-12 months later, when they've been promoted, they can nix it and add it to their next promodoc as company savings in efficiency.

Are you honestly summarizing the current state of advancement in LLM capabilities as "somewhat better search"?

It's apparent from that statement that you've not even been paying a slight bit of attention to state of the art. It isn't 2023; we're a far sight further than you conceptualize, and you'd be well suited to start familiarizing.
