New 60% of OpenAI model's responses contain plagiarism
It turns out you can make it all the way to become president of Harvard [1] while ignoring this rule so it is questionable whether it is as set in stone as you make it out to be, at least in certain disciplines.
In a way these models are a perfect mirror of the current academic climate. They plagiarise without remorse, they follow the latest identity-politics diktat to a point and make up 'facts' when needed to reach a desired narrative. Google Gemini is the latest example [2] of where this leads.
Given that it is plausible that models like these will soon be used in educational settings this is a recipe for disaster. The same goes for the trend to replace search engine results with 'interpreted' results in which LLMs take up the same role as Winston in 1984: Winston works in the Ministry of Truth where he alters historical records to fit the needs of the Party.
It is time for a decentralised distributed search engine which limits itself to pure search, something like YaCy [3]. Something to replace Winstonian search engines like Google and Bing (et al.).

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

DuckDuckGo Privacy Pro
privacy-focused metasearch engines, like SearXNG[1] and 4get[2], should be considered more comprehensive and private than any one index or engine.

Google will start showing AI-powered search results for users who didn't opt-in
I would recommend https://github.com/searxng/searxng
One of my biggest gripes with Google search these days are it's bad UI. Started using searxng a few years ago when Google made everything above the fold useless videos and dynamically poping in content to accedently click.

Google search is losing the fight with SEO spam
Use a meta-search engine like SearXNG [1] and point it at Google/DDG/Brave/Bing/... and you'll be spared the mediocrity that is all those sponsored results, the profiling, the personalised results (which I consider to be a good thing to leave out, others may disagree) and you'll also start noticing which engine remains quiet on certain queries. You can easily run SearXNG yourself on that same SBC which you got to run your own mail and XMPP server [2], it doesn't take much (if any) maintenance and can - with the Recoll engine - also be used to search your own network.
Source: I've been doing this for years and made the Recoll engine for SearX.
