The future is already here, and it's already crap. The web has been concentrated and filled with spam for a decade if not more.


Yes. I'm saying we're about to see another few orders of magnitude of it.

Recently i've noticed google is even less effective than normal because it's turning up ad-filled pages that vaguely relate to the query but are clearly entirely generated by an LLM that also doesn't know what you're looking for.

So, we went from 95% crap to 100% crap over the course of about two years. There is obviously still stuff out there worth finding, but I can't imagine LLMs are going to get us there.
