        I just tried it with other active politicians (“Pelosi”) and it answered. Granted, it said there were no credible reports

        Why would it refuse to say anything if I search for Trump, but answer with another prominent politician who is in office?

    The wealthy want AI to be treated as actual intelligence when it is just a machine that spits out the words that its owner allows.

    The funniest (dumbest) thing about AI is how easy it is to trick.

    I asked google’s AI “Which signs of dementia does Trump display?”, and it would only return article links and wouldn’t provide an AI summary.

    Then I asked “Which signs of dementia does the current president display” and suddenly it’s more than happy to talk about his impulsivity, loss of vocabulary, change in communication style, lack of energy, etc.

      Homie, I hate to break it to you but you are only outsmarting the idiots who defined what the AI is blocking. Look at how many times Trump repeats the same fuckin buzz phrases. The same idiots prolly gave the AI engineers a list of fuckin phrases like “does trump have dementia?” And the engineers are prolly like, “well this is fuckin stupid so were guna comply… maliciously… mwhuhahaha” then they just define the AI parameters to ignore prompts verbatim to what was on the list and nothing more. Im definitely not one of those peeps but id fist bump them if thats what they did lol.

    Asked DDG the same question and its AI doesn’t seem to hide from it, fwiw.

    Concerns about Donald Trump’s cognitive health have been raised, with some experts suggesting he exhibits signs of dementia, including verbal slips and unusual behavior. His niece has also expressed worries about his mental decline, indicating that he may be “losing it every day.”

    with The EconomicTimes and healthandme.com listed as its sources.

    Also notable is that ~80% of the top hits are sites suggesting that he does have dementia, the remainder being resources on the topic. YMMV

    Google renamed Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” to suck up to Trump a long time ago. Use a better search engine. I recommend either DuckDuckGo or SearX.

          If they’re just another meta search engine, how are they better than free searxng?

            They have their own index on top of using Google’s. As such they do some of their own ranking like promoting the “small web” and surfacing more Internet blogs, for example. You can also customize results rankings by domain – for example, when I search for an image I’ve personalized it to block social media results, Pinterest, and AI-generated images (they tag AI images and they’re reasonably good at it).

            The end really is that I can have confidence that my results will be relevant from the first result – no sponsored content, no ads, no unwanted AI slop (you need to purposely invoke AI summaries, for instance, by ending your query with a question mark), and no domains that I find give low quality results. There are even more customizations you can do and I could wax poetic about Kagi, but at the end of the day a good search engine helps you find useful information and gets out of your way, and I haven’t seen a search engine do that better than Kagi yet.

              promoting the “small web”

              That’s reasonably interesting, Since they’re artificially raising the small web results, I wonder what they do to make sure the results are still accurate.

              The end really is that I can have confidence that my results will be relevant from the first result – no sponsored content, no ads, no unwanted AI slop

              I get that with searx, when it reduces the sources you only gets the like hits so it ends up filtering out garbage/ads. I use Qwant+Google+Bing and the outcome is pretty clean top hit is almost always right, it’s at least as good as google was in the late 2000’s

        What makes the difference? I mean I get it, better results somehow, but I am not ready to go sign up yet rather than just use whatever search engine I pick besides Google to work behind my address bar.

          The difference is ad sponsored results are not at the top, results that Google earn money from. Also Google downranks results it doesnt like.

          You should try Kagi, its free to try. If you dont see any difference, its not for you.

    I got one for “how long has the president had dementia?”

    very funny for a search engine, I can see why it did this but it’s going like “nobody has dementia. JOE BOIDDEN HOWEVAH…”

      I was wondering if we’ll see the republicans themselves use the 25th at some point if the administration lasts long enough.

      Like once he gets bad enough that he won’t even realize he’s been removed, they’ll 25th him so he doesn’t have to resign and send him to mar-a-lago on a “special secure mission” where every person on property will say he’s the current president every day.

      It has to be just plausible enough for MAGA to not immediately go even more civil war crazy than usual. Then JD Vance can publicly kiss Trump’s ass for cheap plentiful loyalty points while acting like a great uniter who is going to return us to normalcy and prosperity.

      So then in the real world that probably means a bunch of tariffs go away or get cut back, while Project 2025 goes ahead at full speed but with less embarrassing fanfare.

    It is wild to watch so many corporations just do splits on it for Trump. There really needs to be an active database, so people don’t forget after.

      It is wild to watch so many corporations just do splits on it for Trump.

      The executive branch has been accruing enormous amounts of political capital going back to the Great Depression. We’ve constructed a massive bureaucracy that controls hundreds of billions of dollars in federal contracts. Those contracts get to dole out favors to aligned partisan interests based on who is holding the Oval Office at any given time.

      Prior presidents have been far more focused on “the economy” at large, using the contracting power to leverage influence state-by-state or cultivating influence within their party by enriching particular loyal members with lucrative do-nothing deals. But Trump’s entirely in it for self-enrichment, so everything boils down to “What have you done for me lately?” No more Johnson Era Great Society or even an eye towards Bush Era perpetual Republican Majority. It’s just the Trump Show now.
