    You DO realize that all search queries that aren’t on your own self-hosted searxng or something go to a datacenter, right?

    Of course your self-hosted searxng will still route queries to multiple different datacenters, so in reality you’re going to need your own index

      My beef isn’t with and has never been with the concept of a datacenter, lol. LLMs are so far removed from just a regular datacenter. They’re a shit smear across human history which will be reviled to future generations. There are few things more evil than a Ponzi Scheme which boils the earth and sells pure disinformation, even just a regular search engine company and advertisers will never measure up to that.

      And people aren’t using them as search engines, either. They’re having entire conversations with them, and giving them extensive amounts of contexts in the hopes of “prompt engineering”.
