Little known fact: "Pulumi" is a Zulu word for "unusually large pile of elephant droppings."
I started gathering domains to see for myself the state of the Internet

I have many observations.
One is that I cannot see aby useful amiga links. I had to manually search them for some time. Some parts of the old internet exist, but are buried.
Second is that spam sites are everywhere. Not only AI generated.
Next is that personal sites exist, but they are often boring. Also 'CV sites' are a waste of time for me. I wonder how many of them are fake.
Many sites have poorly set up HTML meta fields, title, description. How anybody is supposed to find them?
I prefer going to passionate personal site about programming tips that reading content farms. It is difficult to find such sites.
I've been frustrated by shitty auto-generated SEO spam for many years. I really don't see a difference at this point.
Every day, paying for search like Kagi looks like a better option.

You can get rid of some of the LLM garbage (and plagiarizing) by tracking who's doing it, and penalizing them.
In search results.
Also in hiring.
This is the real enshittification of the internet.
I think the main issue is it seems no one even bothers to check if what the LLM just spat out is factually correct. It kind astonishes me how little some people seem to doubt whatever the AI is telling them.
