The Degraded Search Engine

[bredroll@mas.to]

@davidrevoy ok im quite tempted to call my search engine "Gooblin" now

@davidrevoy @hacknorris @wikipedia
The cave where everyone's speach gets recorded in echo and can get heard again.
Sorry I got carried away.

Stupidedia? (Already in use, but ...)

@hacknorris @wikipedia

[noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world]

@mangeurdenuage @davidrevoy @hacknorris @wikipedia Dickipedia, a catalog of dicks

[condret@fedi.absturztau.be]

@davidrevoy this is incorrect. search results got worse befor ai

[solitha@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy Maybe Wiccapedia, or WiccaMedia. Or WikiGrimoire, WickedGrimoire, but it starts drifting into something unrecognizable.

@davidrevoy I like that the conflict is against society rather than against her own choice to keep the bird around

[sunbeam_rider@shitposter.world]

@jordan @davidrevoy word of mouth will always be the best publicity. I also like feed agreggators like bubbles.town and powrss.com . But those are more for discovery than search/research.

[scottytrees@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy we need a series with just that red parrot robot getting up to no good or solving crime or something lol.

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@andrewrk Thank you for noticing this change in the writing!

@davidrevoy

Makes me pine for card indexes

[keldrim@meow.social]

@davidrevoy So true searching is completely useless these days... and even search engine alternates get poisoned and unwillingly serve SLOP...

[isagalaev@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy don't know if it was a conscious choice, but I like the book title about fire-proof panties: it suggests that the machine knows personal details about the user (that she's likely to wear panties and not boxers) and pushes the ad on her even when the request had nothing to do with it.

[joel@gts.tumfatig.net]

@davidrevoy not a single Johnny Cash quotes in those results

[konqi@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy imagine an AD with that many pages... I think the biggest books are ADs

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@joel Arf; true. Missed opportunity! I could do a reference like "Piano score: Burns, Burns, Burns... "

[nours@eldritch.cafe]

@davidrevoy @hacknorris @wikipedia witchypedia

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@Konqi Haha, true. Unconscious decision here; maybe the books have a secret box inside them for all the cookies of partners.

...and it makes me think now of this old episode https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/016.html Everything start to be connected!
