Interesting, but disappointing tech news. EU search engines Lilo, Ecosia and Qwant are creating new EU based search index. This is something EU defined needs.
Disappointing part is that it is heavily focused on LLMs and focuses on providing for example AI summaries.
I think even more sadder part is that is might be the right choice since a lot of people are already using LLMs instead of actual search. While I hope this project succeeds, I think it is sad that LLMs are focus of everything.
@Techaltar For Nebula Q&A What do you think about this project and do you think creating AI focused search index is a right choice?
