Today, in order to answer a minor question about the clotshot, I took a shortcut. I asked Google AI to help determine the volume of the Pfizer injection, the percent concentration of modRNA in micrograms, and the number of complete modRNA strands per microgram.

I have no idea if DeepSeek's final answer was correct, but the first two parts were answered accurately

Google, on the other hand refused to answer and did not recognize "modRNA".

That's how rubbish Google is.

Do you foresee there being any concerns with utilizing Gab's AI platform? By which I mean, will it's use and aggregation of their competing AI's keep it form being irresponsible in it's delivery of results? I suspect Gab's Arya agent will probably remain fairly reliable, but the AI agents it utilizes will be just as bent when used through Gab as they are independent of Gab, right? (I'm very ignorant of the subject, my question may be a category error)

I think eventually Gab will break away from its dependence upon the mainstream AI platforms. But we'll see.

My impression some time ago was that Gemini was the most pozzed of the major AIs, and I resolved never to use it. I don't use ChatGPT either, but I do sense that Gemini is worse.

After Vox’s latest post on ChatGPT over on VP, yes, it does look like I was correct, that it’s too pozzed to use — it has a Vox Day allergy, whereas Grok, Claude, and Deepseek do not.

This article makes me laugh, because replacing a reliable page rank service with an unreliable AI is going to demolish Google, and I'm insanely happy about it.

I don't think their page rank service has been reliable for quite some time now. But yes, I think their success on this front is improbable.

I know Gab has been building it's own AI. I haven't checked in on them in awhile. I may have to do that.

Hopefully Deepseek soon implements a file upload and multimodality feature. The reason I do sometimes use Gemini is because of its multimodal approach from the ground up. This makes it excellent for tasks like uploading song demos and album artwork to get feedback and iterative advice. The free mini version of ChatGPT couldn't even detect the lyrics in my song, but perhaps the full version is better at that

The old economic model of the internet, write content for the search engine to get traffic and then sell someone something or try to get an email address from the visitor, is rapidly dying due to LLMs giving the answers instead.

Is there a way for the small website owner who relied on the previous model to pivot or is it lights out and writing for fun?

Vox Day's avatar

It depends on the content. If you're just gathering and distributing publicly available data, it's probably lights out. If it's creative content, you can now produce far more of it much faster.

This is just skimming the surface. The way I see it Cyberpunk more or less predicted the future with regards to AI. Right now chances are there are AI systems of automated scan and deploy malware in advanced development or even deployed. It's not even a complicated concept, just slap an AI in there. So the future is one of rogue or bad actor controlled AIs stalking the internet. This is probably going to lead to the fragmentation of the internet as we know it, which is happening even without it, and the emergence of multiple Netwatch entities presiding the fragments.
