For most use cases, web search engines are fine. But I am wondering if there are alternative ways to finding information. There is also the enshittification of google and tbh most(free) search engines just give google search result
Obviously, the straight is just asking other people, can be in person or online, in general forums or specialised communities
Libraries are good source but for those that don’t have access to physical libraries, there free online public libraries(I will post the links for those that I found below)
Books in general, a lot of them have reference to outside materials.
So, I been experimenting with an AI chat bot(Le chat), partially as life coach of sorts and partially as a fine tuned web search engine. To cut to the chase, its bad. I when its not just listing google top results it list tools that long gone or just makes shit up. I was hoping it to be fine tuned search engine, cuz the google works, if what you want is not the top 10 websites, your on your own.
So yeah, that all I can think. Those are all the routes I can think of for finding information and probably all there is but maybe I miss another route.
Off topic but what’s it like in Iran right now? If what I’m seeing in the news is correct then things are absolutely going off the rails over there atm
For the lower class like me the economy is pretty bad, you have to save up like years for expensive stuff
Damn. What were the protests like? I heard people were getting killed?
Very bad, they shoot protesters mercilessly in Tehran and they aim for the eye, they put everyone in bodybags and lay them on the streets, in Ardabil they run over protesters with armored cars and now everyone is afraid to go out and reasonably so, they also take money for the bullets from the family then deliver the bodies.
Jesus Christ, I don’t even know what to say. That’s absolutely horrific. I hope you and your family are safe.
