on Hitler’s birthday. fancy that.

eh.

“I’m sorry I hurt your feelings”

I feel only pity for you.

reading your comments is like watching a diseased guinea pig nibble on its own scabs.

“an LLM that approves copy pasted wikipedia snippets”

duckduckgo’s llm tool offers relevant information from credible sources.

that is good.

Good luck unbunching those panties.

haha, whaaat why?

I just saw it for the first time today, it seems to mostly quote incredible sources rather than amalgamating responses.

you got some issues huh, poor fella?

have you tried the duck assist thing yet?

If you’re trying to talk to the search engine more like a chat assistant, that sort of response might be what you’re looking for.

is it? that kind of makes sense, because I still use Bing occasionally while Google is completely out of rotation, although I don’t find Bing as good as duckduckgo.

edit: it is not! looks like the DuckDuckGo search engine is an aggregate of hundreds of search engines, including their own duck duck bot, excluding Google but including some Bing results.

they’re pretty bad, but ddg at least feels like I’m getting actual results.

I’ve heard the argument, but we already have more accurate terms like “capitalist”.

I’m not saying people are going to stop using those terms, I just find personally find it silly.

It’s like calling a truck a bicycle, and then having to explain every time that you understand a truck isn’t really a “bicycle” but you have to call it a “bicycle” because everybody else calls it a bicycle.

Bourgeoisie means the middle class, it’s frustrating that term has become incorrectly popularized as “those in power” or “the upper crust”.

I had been hanging out all night with a few israelis who were really nice and cool, and they were kind of hippies and were telling me how it was so cool how traveling made them feel so open with other people, and how the world was one, so I was like well but it’s kind of difficult with Palestine right?

And immediately one of them said “well not Palestine, Palestinians are animals.”

Another one you could tell by her face knew he shouldn’t have said that, and explained to me that nothing would ever work out Palestine because they were completely unreasonable and she paraphrased what he said but in less explicit language.

Two things:

1. two different Israeli tourists told me that Palestinians were animals during the course of different conversations at different times

2).I saw Five Broken Cameras

Those both happened at least a decade ago, and I’ve been pretty vocal about my condemnation of IDF violence since that point, and it’s been insane to have gotten s*** about supporting Palestine for so many years and then in the last few months see a complete reversal of the American perspective.

I’ve actually had someone reach out to me to ask some clarifying questions now that the hospital bombings and IDF invasions happening for decades are actually being reported on and there’s no way to ignore the overwhelming military and cultural advantage israel has in this conflict.
