LOL, DOOM can run even on a Predictor
More usefull the list of EU alternatives to get away from the US hegemony or simply the mandatory AlternativeYo page, if I want AI crap, I prefer Futurepedia, Futuretools or Hugging face,
Yes, but it’s the first and most used with the most content. It’s like eg. with YouTube, there are better alternatives respect conditions and privacy, but nobody and nothing else have even slighly the amount of contents as YouTube. This is why it is important to pass to EU alternatives, but even so it is a task for many years until it will be on level eye a real alternative to the US hegemony in a lot of services. They was too long the reference in the use of internet, to the point to use googeling as sinonym for web searches. Now it’s late and only the way to combat big US monopolies, which will not be easy and fast to do.
Only exist one valid reason for gov surveillance, as in the EU in a crime investigation, the only manner that they are alowwed to access the data of an user with an court order. Mass surveillance is illegal. This in the EU, but the problem is that the US and the UK are not the EU, and their user don’t have this protection if it isn’t protected by the app they use (encrypted, no knowledge tech).
Yes, with good reasons, but if there are not logged or stored cloud data or only user site ee2e encrypted one, this Backdoor lead to nothing or even only to encrypted data, nothing else apart of an raised middle finger. Searches with Andi are not even stored in your browser history, there only appears that you used Andi for search, but not what.
Well, Andisearch is from an Californian startup, but I use it because its strong active privacy protection, full GDPR compliant, apart of their clear statement against the surveillance capitalism and biased AI’s from big corporations. Because this it’s the exeption for me to use also an US service, also because accurate results with sources.
… We’re a small team of two founders (Angela and Jed) and some friends. We’re on a mission to unbreak the Internet and save the world from spam, misinformation and ad tech.
Search is broken because of misinformation, SEO spam and ads, and surveillance capitalism. It hasn’t changed in 20 years. Things are getting worse. The rise of GPT-based chatbots that confidently generate accurate-sounding “BS” with made-up sources is driving misinformation through the roof.
Itch.io is full with tons of gamesof all kind to play right in the browser for free. Eg. for the friends of FPS
The nearest in results is Startpage, it use the Google base but without logging, tracking and other crap, uses proxie. Andisearch, if you want a reliable and really private search with AI, free to use, no account, no cookies, nor logs or trackings, random proxie and sandboxed searches. Kagi is also good, but isn’t free (limited searches in free version and need an account, which by definition isn’t very private). Mojeek is also a good alternative from the EU, like also MetaGer (multiengine from Germany)
Here you can access some material, but the article in question is for members only, it’s a document stored in Google Docs
You can find other pages with this article, but all these pointing to Fortune as source.
Wrong Title, what fails isn’t the AI, but a bad management of the AI by pure company interests of people which don’t have any tecnical skills (apart of the poor reliability of some of the employed AIs)
Summary by Andi
A new MIT report reveals that 95% of enterprise generative AI pilot programs are failing to deliver meaningful financial impact in 2025, with only 5% achieving rapid revenue acceleration[1].
The research, titled “The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025” from MIT’s NANDA initiative, analyzed 150 leadership interviews, surveyed 350 employees, and examined 300 public AI deployments. The core problem isn’t the AI models themselves, but rather a “learning gap” between tools and organizations[1:1].
“Some large companies’ pilots and younger startups are really excelling with generative AI,” said Aditya Challapally, the report’s lead author. “Startups led by 19- or 20-year-olds have seen revenues jump from zero to $20 million in a year. It’s because they pick one pain point, execute well, and partner smartly with companies who use their tools”[1:2].
Key findings include:
- Vendor-purchased AI tools succeed 67% of the time, while internal builds succeed only one-third as often[1:3]
- Over half of AI budgets go to sales and marketing tools, yet the highest ROI comes from back-office automation[1:4]
- Companies are reducing headcount through attrition rather than layoffs, particularly in customer support and administrative roles[1:5]
- “Shadow AI” - unauthorized use of tools like ChatGPT - is widespread in enterprises[1:6]
The report identifies several critical success factors:
- Empowering line managers, not just central AI labs, to drive adoption
- Selecting tools that can integrate deeply with existing workflows
- Focusing on specialized vendor solutions rather than building in-house
- Targeting back-office automation for highest returns[1:7]
Looking ahead, pioneering organizations are testing agentic AI systems that can learn, remember, and operate independently within defined parameters, pointing to the next evolution in enterprise AI[1:8].
The so called singularity as also the Q-Day will come more sooner than later, this can’t be avoided, but this is what concerbed me less, but in which hands it will be is what cause nightmares-
Honestly I think that the only reason why M$ and all it’s apps and services has become so big is, that it’s installed by default in almost any new PC since ever, first naturally because the lack of alternatives. Luckily it’s changing nowadays, there are more and more shops which sell PC only with FreeDOS, to the User choice which OS he want to use with. Now it’s the same with the Phones, by default iOS or Android, after killing Windows Phone (was a good one, but stupid decisions of MS ended it) and Symbiant.
For cloud storage I use Filen (Germany), 10GB for free
Well, you can use it as such, storing the notes locally with the corresponding title. You’ll find a lot more on the SSuite, maybe there you’ll find something els which may serve you, anyway good to bookmark it, it’s pretty usefull.
But I also remember another app, an old Gem, OpenSource which may fullfit your needs, it’s a very powerfull tree style note taking app, rich text format and if you need, also syntax highlighting for programming scripts. (Windows, Linux) (.rtf, .txt, scripts)
Not OpenSource, but free, reliable and private, online right in your browser, it’s a complete word processor, you can also edit Html, select webpages and paste it in the editor which conserve the original UI with all working links, Files and documets are stored locally in .htm, .pdf or .txt. Blazing fast and works also in mobile, even as PWA.

(Part of the SSuite, it’s a hobby project of two elictricians which make money with their workshop, not with these apps, no commercial interests, no ads, logs, tracking or othe crap, no account)
Less because capabilities, but because the cut of subventions of the state, always the way to substitite public services with privat companies by right wing neo-liberal govs, using your taxes to support private companies instead of public ones, in this cas, all the cash to Musk, instead to the NASA, to make the U$ great again.
