Asked #Meta #AI where #gold comes from and it incorrectly claims it is formed in the Earth's crust. By contrast, the first three search hits from #DuckDuckGo on exactly the same question (mostly) correctly state that it is formed in supernovae explosions and neutron star mergers by the rapid neutron-capture process.

Meta AI response reading as follows: Gold is a naturally occurring element that forms deep within the Earth's crust through geological processes. It's created when ancient rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, often as a result of tectonic activity or volcanic eruptions. Over time, gold deposits can be concentrated in veins of ore, which can then be extracted and refined. Gold can also be found in alluvial deposits, like riverbeds and streams, where it's been eroded from its original source and carried away by water. This process can concentrate gold particles, making them easier to find and extract. Some gold also comes from space! Meteorites can contain small amounts of gold, and it's believed that some of the gold on Earth may have originated from meteorite impacts. Want to know more about gold mining or its uses?

@thelinuxEXP To add a custom search engine in Firefox, create a new entry in about:config

browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh
and set it to true.

You will get new add and edit buttons in search parameters.

Then go to this duckduckgo page to tweak url parameters to your licking.

duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help

Here is an example of a working url so you can see what it looks like:

duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&kp=-2&kae

base
duckduckgo.com/?q=%s
and then set your preferences.

Chrome is worth around $50 billion, DuckDuckGo CEO guesstimates.

OpenAI, Perplexity, and even Yahoo have said they would like to buy Chrome

"He described the difficulties smaller companies face in competing with Google's entrenched distribution channels and revenue-sharing agreements, which he characterized as the "root cause" of Google's dominance."

I am trying to #degoogle, one small step at a time. I have been using the browsers and search tools from #duckduckgo, but I increasingly read bullish reviews about Kagi (aleph.press/ffac1c), a paid search engine. Does anyone have experience, and is it really that much better than DDG? #kagi_search #dtv

aleph.press/Kagi - A Better Search Engine - aleph.press/Kagi: A Better Search Engine I read this article (archive) about how Google’s search results not only hide a substantial portion of the internet but can actually cost you more money by promoting prod…

Brave Search is not there yet, but is not entirely unusable, either.

DuckDuckGo, which uses Bing's results, is far gives far more relevant and accurate results.

Brave gets especially worse with Image search. 🙃

On the other hand, in terms of feature parity, Brave is the leader.

It has all kinds of live data like, Sports (Basketball, Cricket, Football, Murican Football, etc.), Financial data (Stock prices, Indices, Currencies & exchange rates), An AI chatbot which can browse the internet, too, etc.

For now, my default will be DDG, but will use Brave on my secondary browser. Let's see 😉
