(Or does this model has those capabilities natively ?)
Openai and Anthropic just behave like criminals. First they orchestrate the IP theft of the millennia, then they train the equivalent of attack pitbull and let one loose and finally they blackmail to achieve monopoly through regulation or else they'll unleash the dogs ...
We don't have a problem of missing regulation, we have a problem of actually applying existing law enforcement and make both Altman and Amodei accountable for their actions.
They even admit it : "This incident should be interpreted with caution and nuance. To some degree, our evaluation design choices and specific configurations enabled the behaviour."
And I said, many people have complained, here on HN about it, only to be met with the same damage control over and over.
But granted, I could have phrased all that differently. You're right.
When I make a generic search unrelated to a hobby I have and I get as top answer something about my hobby, it's a very red and very flashing red flag of bubble effect.
The nail in the coffin has happened this weekend when some un-asked for auto-correct prevented me from searching what I wanted. The moment a tool gets in the way (whatever the good intentions are), I drop the tool. And, no, most of the time DDG don't know better than me.
Several people have been calling your founder on this, here, me included, and have been ignored. DDG might not need early adopter anymore. Fine by me, I'll move on.
Sorry for the bluntness but the truth is you already lost my as a user.
I specified I'm not interested in chabot because I'm looking for a search engine and some people tend to conflate the two. I prefer first hand information, hopefully filtered for spam and slop but not "tailored" by a bubble that is more often mistaken than not.
Edit: hum, sadly, Qwant integration to Firefox seems to be broken at the moment.
But where are Frontpage and Dreamweaver now ?
