site:lesswrong.com “artificial intelligence” = 30,700 results site:lesswrong.com “Singularity” = 32,000 results
Thought this was because of the logo at the top of the page, so searched for “Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence” and got:
site:lesswrong.com “Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence” = 111,000 results
So something’s weird. Also, if you move “site:lesswrong.com″ to the right side you get 116,000 instead.
Google’s result counter is an estimate, and not a very good one. It’s within 2 or 3 orders of magnitude… usually.
You’re right.
Or maybe those result counts don’t measure what you think they measure.
