Might as well completely give up on the summary cards from now on
Dune the wrong thing
It has been for a while. Never a better time to switch to something different
Drag took your advice, and it only gave drag the answer drag wanted. It wasn’t as good at figuring out which question drag was asking, but it made up for that by not wasting half the screen real estate on other answers. Ecosia beats Google at answering drag’s question today.
Multiple options available depending on what you want. Duckduckgo for Bing results. Startpage for Google and Bing.
I’ve been quite happy with Startpage for a while now and there are multiple options depending on just how badly you want to avoid Google.
I’m super happy with Kagi search. Even the AI summary is quite good as it’s based on the search results, not just made up from training data. Of course, it’s still a stupid LLM, so double check everthing. But i find it quite useful to get a grasp on the overall content of the results.
And search itself works well, haven’t had a moment where it was worse than one of the big providers. The dedicated forum, programming and other serchas are cool and i love being able to adjust the priority of pages or even blacklist them.

not gonna give any money to a startup whose weird fucking founder thinks their primary product is AI rather than search, thanks
I wonder how long until these clowns start posting kagi signups with referral links embedded
I’m always surprised that’s not a factor, given how fervent the posts are
Tired: Rust Evangelism Strike Force

love when a search engine has a random guy who knows nothing message me some bullshit he made up about a search. of course, you have to double check the bullshit. but it’s a great feature
If you liked Wordpress Matt wearing a hat, then you’ll love Kagi Guy in your replies.
sorry, can’t let this post go without calling out the greenwashing ecosia that has a chatgpt integration while they only report their own energy stats with a limp “it’s too early to tell uwu” when it comes to openai as a provider
Valid. Drag refused to look at any ads anyways, because fuck ads. Do you have a more ethical suggestion?
Those are the actors who played Duncan Idaho in the David Lynch adaptation and in the two Syfy miniseries. So, yeah, it’s not wrong, just incomplete — though I have no idea why it only serves up those three. There’s certainly no limitation to three images, as can be verified by searching for “Sherlock Holmes actor” or the like.

Dune (2021) was released in 2021, so perhaps he wasn’t in enough of the data yet, or some other weirdness like that.
Maybe Momoa’s PR agency forgot to send an appropriate tribute to Alphabet this month.
Clearly everyone working on google knowledge graph are a bunch of dune movie purists who don’t recognize the existence of the 2021 film for being too hollywood.
The result is still correct. There are multiple movies, therefore multiple actors which played the role of Duncan. If you are looking for an actor of a specific movie it usually helps to input also the year of the release.
the other three aren’t wrong, it’s just an incomplete list.
my ddg default gave me the fictional character’s wikipedia article as the top result (it lists all of them and what title they were in).
a vanity fair article praising momoa’s work in the 2021 film was second, followed by the dune wiki character page and then imdb’s 2021 film page was fourth.
i also have firefox keywords to search the wiki or imdb directly if i choose to, and that’s what i would have normally done here.
