There's legitimate competition on search, it's just that people are locked in to Google's network of other products (gmail, youtube, maps, etc). Notably, all those things also operate at a loss, Google subsidizes them with its more profitable search and ad business to keep people locked in to the monopoly. If search became less profitable their business model would collapse.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
