“We need better training data for our AIs. Let’s introduce some random scramble into search results, and when users have to hunt through the list and pick what they actually wanted instead of the top result, we can use those data to train the AI how to respond to those words when they come up in AI prompts.”

– a Google exec, probably?

They measure how long time you stay on a webpage. More is better.

Guess why all top sites have 10 pages of garbage explaining the history of windows and linux and what an OS is when you just want to know how to use grep…

  Manpages are a thing? And you can search for man grep.
  
  It’s the best mansplaining around….

    A list of what the command line switches do is completely different from how to use them to solve a problem.
    
    There are entire books written about regex.

    You made a different point just then too… man grep won’t tell you when you should be using sed or egrep… although the manpage does reference them at the end.
