Bros saw those profits and changed their tune.
Throw potentially $100,000,000 at me and I would be a wholly different person. Humans aren’t meant to have that much power and systems that allow it are inherently psychologically poisonous.
This isn’t universally true. There are plenty of people with that amount of money that aren’t psychologically poisoned, but they stop trying to double their weathly and many go philanthropist but you rarely hear those stories because they don’t make a big deal about it.
Like MacKenzie Scott (Bezos ex-wive). The amount of money she is funneling to struggling NGOs is insane.
The idea that NGOs can provide better ROI than tax supported public services is billionaire propaganda.
Some alternatives:
- Duckduckgo (Bing with privacy)
- Qwant (Bing with privacy, but building their own index)
- Mojeek (pet favorite of the privacy community but small index, search often unsatisfying for me)
- Kagi (apparently really good but paid)
I use DDG but i wish it filtered out sites that are clearly 100% AI generated
I wish it didn’t append completely irrelevant “Apple Maps” results for places thousands of miles way, to everything I search for.
I would imagine ddg can’t licence Google maps. I’m surprised they don’t use bing maps (if that’s still a thing)
They used to use Openstreetmap, which was very accurate where I lived, and also seemed to be reasonably good at knowing when something needed a map (like a business or location you were trying to find) and when it didn’t need a map (like any other normal search).
