All Europeans 🇪🇺<p>Resurrecting Qwant: New Owners Bet On GenAI To Provide Answers</p><p>Excerpt:</p><p>"Frankly, in 2019, building a search engine was not affordable for Qwant and it never was," he said. "The mistake was not to explain that and try to hide it. Qwant has been focused on privacy. And the team had worked hard on a solution with Microsoft that meant it didn't share data with Microsoft."</p><p>Even now, New Qwant will need a 3rd party to help with long-tail search results. Still, the transformation at New Qwant was underway when Microsoft dropped a bomb: It was dramatically raising its search API rates. This change also hit other search engines like Ecosia that relied on Bing.</p><p>"18 months ago, Microsoft changed access to Bing's search API," he said. "They increased the price without any good reason. All of us realized that we were so dependent on Microsoft that their strategy change could kill us. We decided we should not be in the passenger side but that we should be in the driver's seat."</p><p>So Qwant and Ecosia teamed up to create a 50-50 joint venture called the European Search Perspective (EUSP). Qwant will transfer the search indexing infrastructure it was building as well as some of its engineers and data scientists. Ecosia is making a cash contribution."</p><p><a href="https://frenchtechjournal.com/resurrection-qwant-second-life/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">frenchtechjournal.com/resurrec</span><span class="invisible">tion-qwant-second-life/</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Qwant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Qwant</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Ecosia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ecosia</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SearchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SearchEngine</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/EuropeanAlternatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EuropeanAlternatives</span></a></p>

ueeu<p>The <strong><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ueeu.vivaldi.net/tag/followfriday/" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a></strong> tradition is a popular social media practice that has spread to various platforms, including Mastodon. The idea of recommending interesting accounts to follow every Friday started on Twitter in 2009. You can use the hashtag <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ueeu.vivaldi.net/tag/followfriday/" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a> or just <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ueeu.vivaldi.net/tag/ff/" target="_blank">#FF</a>. This idea quickly became popular and spread to other social media platforms, including Mastodon it isn’t different.</p><p>Our <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://ueeu.vivaldi.net/tag/followfriday/" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a> posts are a great way to suggest people follow great companies, non-profits, founders and open-source projects that have created and built brilliant European alternatives to foreign products and services.</p><p>We propose a new theme on a weekly basis, and to that effect here is a list of accounts to be followed on

AI is an Orwellian nightmare

I used to be able to search for things using a search engine. It would point me to a source of information, I could decide for myself if the source was good or not. But not anymore. Recently I just wasted a lot of time trying to find something using a search engine only to get lost in an ocean of AI slop.

I finally gave in and asked my question to ChatGPT and it answered my question perfectly, it even showed me where it got it’s sources of information. The places it linked me to were either no longer existent (if ever) or only vaguely related. But it at least created the appearance of citing factual sources of information, in whatever way the statistical models have been trained to give that impression to the humans who use it.

In Orwell’s novel “1984,” we saw how a single government agency took all control over information, how the staff would keep a database of facts but constantly alter these facts to fit the view of reality that their despot “Big Brother” wanted the citizens to believe. The same thing happens now with LLMs presenting a very carefully tuned image of the facts in the database.

AI chat bots are an innovative new method of brainwashing, one which nobody could have ever imagined possible even a few years ago: get everyone to trust a mechanical Big Brother because it chats with you like a friendly fellow human would.
