  • In general, search result summary is killing a whole ecosystem and making people doing research more complicit, so yes DDG should not get a free pass just because they're Not Google

  • So basically their journalists are cleared for using a tool that gives off radioactive levels of mutated LinkedIn-speak (not X but Y!), and in the best case scenario they think the proximity to these tools won't leech into the style of their own writing?

    And that's at the very best of circumstances. Just a little toxicity in the article contents.

    They lost an editor who used fake AI quotes before this new explicit allowance.

  • It's good (at least good as it can be) that Microsoft is actually investing in things that remove carbon from the atmosphere, but... What market?

    Look how far back the runner-up is trailing.

  • Any idea if there's a reason for there to be a second app though? If you have Orbot already, it shipped with the same defaults as TorVPN, and in my opinion Orbot is already decent-looking and easy to use.

    Maybe it's better for this to be a first party app, but right now I don't know what they're going for.

  • This just sounds like Orbot in VPN mode, which we already have from The Guardian Project.

    Am I missing something here? Is this going to be better or different?


    Edit: this article is weird, trying to sell VPN affiliates but acting like Tor VPN isn't available yet. But it is:

    https://support.torproject.org/tor-vpn/


    Edit 2: you can't run Orbot in Advanced mode over TorVPN, for those apps that you already configured to only connect to a specific proxy port over 127.0.0.1. No Tor over Tor. Would have been funny if it worked though.

  • While technically true, it's kind of funny how the person making the video seems surprised by the results of his own query, skipping over the top-ranked irrelevant results, sometimes just trying to rationalize what was returned.

    It's not like he's incompetent, though. The people who "train" (procedurally throw data into) these models don't understand them either.

  • Title aside, I thought it was a very good article worth reading. Would recommend.

  • Maddening as Clippy was, every single annoying suggestion was handwritten, and they were supposed to help you do things. Your mileage may vary, but I always thought Clippy was cute.

    Spot too.

  • Well this was a useless article. Basically some descriptions and referral links.

    The "Pros and cons" section for Windows doesn't list a single negative. Really? They couldn't think of anything bad that's happened with the OS recently?

  • Things must be rough for the AI fandom when a Discord made for CoPilot is unsustainably critical of CoPilot

  • You're right. I forgot that AI people had that mindset. A dangerous thing to forget, because people like that will literally descend into an ideology that believes you can kill others if they inconvenience you.

  • I really wish Sam Altman would treat himself with the dignity and efficiency he wants to treat us with.

    The ideology of evil eugenicists didn't die with Hitler, and they didn't die with Epstein either.

  • Why assume he's being stupid? Seems his opinions are intentional and informed.
