If I go to nl.aliexpress.com I get "neukende vrouwen naakt bikini" which translates to "fucking women nude bikini" which is the game-of-telephone version of "panties for sex". OP got a shorter version with the "naakt bikini" missing.
It's just a slightly weird translation of a popular search query, which Aliexpress uses as search text placeholder. But that's actual items that Aliexpress sells and they do exactly what the text says, so there is nothing really wrong here on a technical level.
Now if those items or their search queries should make it into front-page recommendation, that's another story.
Probably not enough RAM. The page isn't doing anything crazy, but includes a dozen or so example <video>'s, which in turn can send Linux into an out-of-memory situation that freezes the system (technically it's still working just really slow). Ran into that issue a lot when browsing around with 8GB RAM, upgrading that helped. Installing earlyoom[1] is another workaround.
Can anybody explain "Gollum writes his autobiography"[1]? The images themselves look extremely well "rendered", good lighting and all and they capture the description quite well. But the "Gollum" in the images doesn't look like any common version of Gollum I could find. Google Image Search and most other places are completely flooded with the movie version of Gollum, which looks very different. There are animated versions that look a little closer, but nothing I could find looks like the images produced by the AI.
I'd love to search through the training data to figure out what is going on here, but apparently that isn't public available either.
Reddit is heavily biased towards new content and you have to know what subreddits to look for to find the interesting stuff. The nice thing with Youtube recommendations (after recent updates) is that it pulls out a lot of older content and it also has a pretty good understanding of contexts and topics, even pretty niche stuff. Plain Google search really has no way of exploring the web in the same way you can just do with Youtube recommendations. Also helps that Youtube is extremely low on spam, you get ads and product placement, but not the bot generated filler that is cluttering up Google search.
Google sucks compared to Google from years ago. It's still vastly superior to the modern alternatives. It doesn't help that almost all alternatives out there are just Bing with different window dressing, so going through alternatives is just annoying as they have all the same holes in the search results.
Another big issue is that everybody just tries to copy Google. I don't need Google in less good, I want to see something that organize the Internet in a more useful way than just plain text search (e.g. what about Youtube-style recommendations for websites, old-school Yahoo-style dictionaries, AI categorization, Dejanews-style search for webforums, a button to filter out everything that requires a login or whatever).
I feel there is a lot of untapped potential that gets missed by just trying to be a Google search clone.
Same here, one thing I find especially annoying with Bing/DDG/Brave is that they not only return worse results, but sometimes completely nuke certain search terms, e.g. try "aoi jav" (NSFW) in Bing image and video search. It gives zero results. Regular text search gives a few, but also looks heavily censored. Try the same thing in Google and you get millions of results.
Don't fully understand what is going on here. Safe search is disabled. Worse results would be expected, but zero results seems like an excessive amount of censorship. Other similar search terms work fine.
