        The thing about THAT is Bing built their house literally copying Google’s homework. In the early days (maybe 2013? Long before they went masks-off) google published examples of them inventing new unique words that didn’t organizational exist in open web pages, and those popping up and Bing search indexes 3 weeks later.

        Kagi, at least according to a few talks Doctorow of the EFF gave in recent history, admit their indices just came from Google’s as well.

        Watching everyone’s favorite advertising agency turn heal so swiftly has been one of the biggest bummers of my adult life.
