Re:Google Search Is Dying. What Comes Next Is Worse on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @01:12AM (#49268047)
In essence there are a few critical and vulnerable(imo) sources of info on search engines. forums, llms, and and just plain search by query matches and web crawling/indexing. They are all very useful but the last one is being shadowed and destroyed. Forums are also being filled with bots.
Has anyone tried to replicate this? I copied my calculator app and renamed it to git.exe, put it in a few repositories, openned cursor with those repositroies loaded, even prompted cursor to scan the repository, to which it said it saw the git.exe ("Accidental binary — delete it, don’t commit"), but nothing was executed to my knowledge
