The Free Software Database v. 250724.218 is online!

What's new?

We've transitioned away from Uploadcare CDN and Polyfill.io as those services were no longer owned by the original companies.
Since we've always used the Subresource Integrity (SRI) security technology, there has never been any risk, but they were causing occasional network delays.

This is only a patch and it will soon be followed by important improvements in the next days.

What to expect?

  1. We have decided to be more attentive to user feedback, so the indexed free or open source projects involved in abuses to the detriment of the free software volunteers will suffer a heavy and publicly visible penalty. They won't be removed, but a warning will be clearly visible, a permanent search engine penalty will be imposed and alternatives may be recommended.

  2. All resources will be associated with a developer, either a person or a project. The karma (reputation) of a software will now depend on the average reputation of the other resources by the same author. This will serve as useful indicator to those searching for a project to volunteer for.

  3. We plan to gradually reduce the dependency on Content Delivery Networks.
    This will have a positive impact on speed and privacy.

#Google #Search results polluted by buggy AI-written code frustrate coders

#source: https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/01/pulumi_ai_pollution_of_search/

Google has indexed inaccurate infrastructure-as-code samples produced by Pulumi AI – a developer that uses an #AI #chatbot to generate infrastructure – and the rotten recipes are already appearing at the top of search results.

"there's nothing dangerous about sharing ideas and discussing things.
the only thing dangerous is withholding information from you that provides you having a complete and total perspective of what the truth may be."

"what happened to the internet? where's the rest of it?"

it wasnt always like this.

#AI #technology is destroying #online #search 😱👎

Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/ai-chatbots-chatgpt-google-bard-microsoft-bing-break-internet-search-2023-2

The other kind of search — "exploratory search" — is the hard one. That's where you don't know what you don't know. What's the right phone for me? What's the deal with the Thirty Years' War? Getting a satisfactory answer is more iterative. You throw a bunch of keywords into the search box, you scroll through the links, you try new terms. It's not perfect, and it's skewed by the profit motives of advertisers and the implicit judgments that #Google makes behind the scenes about which pages count as authoritative. But it's what made it possible for us to find a needle in an online haystack.

#knowledge #searchEngine #news #future #hype #chatgpt #software #economy #capitalism #freedom

The new ChatGPT clones from Google and Microsoft are going to destroy online search

Sure, AI chatbots will save you time finding things on the web. But they're also going to lie to you.
