I actually say no to hiring more devs because it takes like a year to get someone up to speed, with lots of effort and time invested from the team.

I'm not a manager, I'm one of the devs. Don't want more people because of the burden of training them.

Judging by how things are going, what we write will be sucked up by AI and then sold back to us as a service to pay for later.

Humans creating content for free to be sold by corporations in the future, pretty much.

Kagi... It's so good you forget Google.

And what do you mean "even mozilla"... There are money deals between these Google and mozilla. Google pays mozilla a lot of money to set Google as default search.

It's not tinfoil, they have been caught doing it and they continue to do it. It's a scumbag company.

Can't list all the examples of this but they are a scumbag company.

1984 , 1 day ago to Technology in The biggest findings in the Google Search leak

How Google ranks content is a black box: websites depend on search traffic to survive, and many will go to great lengths — and great expense — to beat out the competition and rise to the top of results. Better ranking means more website visits, which means more money. As a result, website operators hang on to every word Google publishes and each social media post by employees working on search. Their word is taken as gospel, which, in turn, trickles down to everyone using Google to find things.

This is the problem, and also why all centralized search engines will be tempted to go down the route of Google.

What is the solution? Maybe a decentralized open source index. But those exists and are not as good as Kagi. It seems there will always be a need for companies to pay skilled employees to create a good search experience. Just having the index is not enough.

I disagree actually. It affects your life but you can't do anything about it. What the politicians say is just hot air anyway. It's pointless to get emotionally involved and manipulated by their statements. Even bad for you.

There is relief right now if you don't follow politics. :)

Since you do, I guess you enjoy reading about the worst of humanity.
