Any suggested improvements to that response?

"I met Paul Graham Once"
A beautiful essay by @phillmv that needs to be read by all tech people. The trend in tech and broader society is disturbing and we have to fight it.

Traditional search is mutually beneficial... to search providers and publishers. At expense of the users. LLM search is becoming popular because it lets users, for however short time this will last, escape the fruits of the "mutually beneficial arrangement".
If anything, that arrangement of publishers and providers became an actual parasite on society at large these days. Publishers, in particular, will keep whining about being cut off; I have zero sympathy - people reach for LLMs precisely because publishers have been publishing trash and poison, entirely intentionally, optimizing for the parasitic business model, and it got so bad that the major use of LLMs is wading through that sea of bullshit, so that we don't have to.
The ad-driven business model of publishing has been a disaster for a society, and deserves to be burned down completely.

@kuketzblog Danke. Ich war schon eine ganze Weile auf der Suche nach einer Alternative für Chrome/Firefox und einem VPN um Geoblocks zu umgehen. #Mullvad hat beides und ein kurzer Blick auf die #HN Kommentare [1] hat mich dann endgültig überzeugt. Der Service kostet $5 und ist damit fair.

From #HN, somone posted a #Java .jar file written in 2011 that still works. (https://github.com/khiner/CrosswordFiller)
My web site has a #JavaScript file from 1998 (last modified in 2003) that plays simplified blackjack. (https://catcode.com/cardgame/sb21.html) There are others from even earlier, but they use document.write(), so I don’t want to advertise them :)
@mos_8502 I very much welcome a revival of the #Usenet!
This is my preferred fall-back, when #reddit, #HN, #Slashdot and others finally aren't useable any more.
Maybe I'll even think of switching my decade-old (but very fine) #slrn setup to Gnus or another #Emacs-based workflow if I can find out how to sync my state across multiple machines...
More and more #reddit previews stop working these days. Current example: my #RSS #Atom feed aggregator.
I want to emphasize that I've warned about that years ago:
Don't Contribute Anything Relevant in #WebForums Like Reddit, #HN, #Slashdot and for most parts of my arguments even #Lemmy:

early visitors to Hacker News think HN is a convenient abbreviation for the site's name
no
after reading the articles and (esp) the comment threads for enough years you realize what the dominant purpose of the site is:
Humblebragging Nerds
"How To Choose A Romantic Partner" on front page of HN now
because thats why I go to a site named HACKER NEWS
to read romance/dating advice. esp in clinical PC/Woke language
site is becoming a joke
Hacker News front page stories lately are so often wildy off-topic or inappropriate
