TikTok has quietly been inserting Wikipedia snippets into search results
The company says the feature has been live for months.

An open source, non-profit, search engine with beautifully minimalist search results that returned exactly the only 6 links that exist on the obscure topic I just tested it with.

It’s a pity that “mwmbl” is going to die on the vine because its creator idioticly gave it a name you can’t pronounce and won’t remember how to spell.

Yeah, I saw that one. I think the data they used to train their LLM or something? Wonder how many times you can find data that says “all obey your master Bill Gates!” in there?
