Just created a @kagihq Feedback thread on crypto payment options.

kagifeedback.org/d/6733-more-c

Currently they use only Stripe billing, Paypal and Opennode's Bitcoin payment gate.

So if you have Ethereum, Monero or any other popular coin, then you're out of luck.

So, please vote if you also want more crypto payment options for privacy-oriented search engine.

P.S. I think this becomes even more relevant since they've recently announced their Privacy Pass.

I'm also experimenting with using Pagefind to provide search for my static site using client-side Javascript. It currently analyzes 10934 files and indexes 8183 pages (87272 words) in 40 seconds. The data is 125MB, but a search for, say, "sketchnote" transfers only 280KB, so that's pretty good. I think I'm adding the date properly and I know I can set that as the default sort, but I haven't yet figured out how to make it possible for people to sort by either relevance or date as they want. I also want to eventually format the search results to include the date. Maybe Building a Pagefind UI – dee.underscore.world will be useful. #pagefind #ssg #search

AI #search engines cite incorrect sources at an alarming 60% rate, study says

Misinformation has always been present on the internet, but #AI certainly isn't helping here.

Additionally, many AI tools ignored Robot Exclusion Protocol settings. AKA they said that robots.txt doesn't apply to them.

(Grok 3's error rate is 94%, lol.)

Ars Technica · AI search engines cite incorrect news sources at an alarming 60% rate, study saysBy Benj Edwards

Yesterday I paid for a year subscription of Kagi (@kagihq). I had been testing it for a few days and it reminds me of the olden days of Google.

Clean UI that gives me results at the top of the page.

Google has gone overboard with the ads and sponsored results cluttering the interface. Not to mention the AI overview at the top of each search.

#kagi#google#search

"AI models incorrectly answered more than 60 percent of queries about news sources."

"Perplexity provided incorrect information in 37 percent of the queries tested, whereas ChatGPT Search incorrectly identified 67 percent (134 out of 200) of articles queried. Grok 3 demonstrated the highest error rate, at 94 percent."

LOL. I did a #Google #Search and that #AI Overview crap at the top, all its sources were from Quora. God help us all.

Quora is informative, but not trustworthy. It's not trustworthy because there is no fact checking the answers and no credential checking on those answering the questions. Answers can also reflect personal opinions and biases, which may not always align with objective facts or widely accepted knowledge.
