Meta is developing its own web search engine to make itself more independent of Google and Microsoft’s Bing. The technology will primarily be used to feed the company’s own AI chatbot with up-to-date information.
Metasearch?
Meta AI (I didn’t even know this was a thing) has 185 M WAUs?
Is this a real number or some sort of misleading stats where they include people are only technically using it via some sort of hook into FB/Insta (don’t use them so not aware).
More competition. But, more capitalism. Tough call.
But then there’s Searxng. Yeah Meta’s search engine isn’t worth it.
Cool, so another search engine to ignore.
Yeah, good luck with that. The Facebook bots are so bad, they literally hammer sites into the ground, to the point where they’re actively being blocked.
Just yesterday I banned Facebook’s user agent that is supposedly only used to generate link previews. It was being extremely aggressive, making 20 requests per second. At the time I thought “I bet they’re actually building their own search index”, and here we are.
Isn’t every tech giant trying to do the same thing, no one like relying on google.
God what is this click clickbait article for?
“X are secretly doing Y”
Really so how do we know about it then?

More competition against Google is good, but man another AI focused search engine is not what I would be hoping for.
Fuck this company
