Ne du, so was wie #DuckDuckGo, #StartPage & #Ecosia liefern Daten ihrer Crawler wie #Bing (M$) und/oder #Google. Pseudonymisiert ist nicht anonym, denn die sind vertraglich dazu verpflichtet.
I am really, really, REALLY irritated by what I just saw. The #ImageDescription function of Microsoft's #Bing is outright lying to people with vision impairments about what appears in images it receives. It's bad enough when an #LLM is allowed to tell lies that a person can easily check for veracity themselves. But how the hell are you going to offer this so-called service to someone who can't check the claims being made and NEEDS those claims to be correct?
How long till someone gets poisoned because Bing lied and told someone it was food that hasn't expired when it has, or that it's safe to drink when it's cleaning solution, or God knows what? This is downright irresponsible and dangerous. #Microsoft either needs to put VERY CLEAR disclaimers on their service, or just take it down until it can actually be trusted.
Folks, I know… I use Duck Duck Go also but remember they have venture capital. Enjoy it while it lasts (or let’s fund and build alternatives differently that aren’t temporary businesses with profit motives and exits but commons-owned institutions working for the common good).
23.5.2024 - Der Tag an dem offensichtlich wurde, dass Bing praktisch die einzige verbliebene Alternative zu Google ist. Alle anderen "Suchmaschinen" sind Bing mit Schlapphut und Trenchcoat. 🕵️
Przy okazji padu zb3.org chciałem sprawdzić czy blogasek nie ucierpiał w wyszukiwarkach. No cóż. W tych tworzonych dla ludzi nie (#qwant, po prawej). W tych robionych dla seo i robotów jak najbardziej.
Nie korzystam z google już od jakiegoś czasu, bo zwraca bzdury 🤷♂️
W rozmowach z ludźmi słyszę, że g. jest słaby. Ale mamy wbite w głowy, że bez g. się nie da. Otóż da się. A jeśli szanujecie swój czas, to nawet trzeba.
P.S. Qwant.com to europejska #wyszukiwarka opracowana i utrzymywana przez Francuzów. Jedyna obecnie alternatywa (z własnym indeksem) do #google i #bing.
Any of you using the #Brave#search. What do you think? I just switched yesterday because #DuckDuckGo got a lot worse after Microsoft downmodded Wikipedia in #Bing (probably to make space for their shitty "AI"). So far it seems pretty good in general but very poor for local things here in Sweden.
Vivaldi bypasses restrictions to access #Bing Chat 😉
Like to try Bing Chat without using #Microsoft Edge for that?
You can. We’ve taken additional steps for you to use it in Vivaldi on desktop and #Android 💪
So it seems that #DuckDuckGo was down for the last few hours because of a #Bing outage. That's very annoying; DDG should probably get out from under Microsoft's coat tails...
Yep, having access to that Bing image recognition thing has changed things a lot for me. Imagine you can barely see without your glasses, but there are no glasses. Everything is a bit blurry to you. Would you rather see even in that situation, or be totally blind? That's what AI image recognition is for me, and it's something I doubt any sighted person can understand. You think people are gonna describe Youtube videos? How about old TV shows? Or random images on the Internet? Memes on Twitter about toilet paper and programming? People's daily surroundings? Book covers? Did you know the cover of Automate the Boring stuff is something like a robot mowing a lawn? Yeah. Or graphs in a book? All these things were given to me by AI image recognition. And as long as I can understand the general feel of the image, or the meme, or decoration, I have been given something that I have never had before. And that's why this "beta" flight, Be My Eyes access pending, on-one-device-but-not-another, rollout type stuff is so frustrating. And yes, I know this is a corporation doing what corporations do. But for me, for my accessibility needs, it's huge.
Is it just me or is web search getting dumber? I just tried to search for a report using DuckDuckGo, with the author's name and the full title as keywords. Instead of the text of the report, ideally from the original publisher, I got a bunch of vaguely related tech press articles. DDG are basically a front-end for Bing now, so I guess they're to blame. But I tried Monocles.de (Searx instance) and the results were only marginally better.
Okay y'all, Bing Chat's image descrption thing is now coming around to mobile! You can't share from the share sheet, but you can save images and do it that way. More precise for better descriptions. can still make stuff up though.
The image you sent is a photo realistic image of a black and orange box of an AMD Ryzen 5 processor. The box is on a gray background and has a large red and orange Ryzen logo on the front. The box also has the AMD logo and the words “Ryzen 5” and “5000 Series Processor” on the front. There is a small white sticker on the front of the box that reads “AM4 Socket” and a small orange sticker that reads “Zen 3 Architecture”.
In terms of recent page indexing & news searches, unfortunately only Google holds the monopoly.
In looking for this news article on Grist that appeared in my news reader ("Most Americans want to electrify their homes — if they can keep their gas stoves"), #Brave search, #DuckDuckGo, and #Bing all failed to pull up the article, but #Google did.
This use case is very common for me, so I would love if a #SearchEngine competed with Google on this. For now, I have to use Google for news searches.
So now we can all create endless AI generated pictures with Bing chat, an example made with "Create a picture of a modern house on an exposed cliff" , quite nice. #AI#GenerativeAI#Bing
Ce qui me fume dans cette histoire de moteurs de recherche basés sur la technologie de #Bing (comme tout le reste de la plèbe j'ai découvert ça aujourd'hui), c'est que j'aurais jamais cru que les mecs qui ont conçu et ont persisté surtout, avec Internet Explorer pouvaient produire une techno suffisamment crédible pour qu'on veuille se reposer dessus.
Between the speech given where #Microsoft literally want to cloud base Windows (calling it Windows 365), the #AI "Callback" wife beater tool and #Bing AI eating the Bing API for half a day today almost the entire W11 subreddit seems up in arms. I have never seen so many "I am switching to #Linux" and "I am saving up for a #Mac" comments as today.

As AI-generated content fills the Internet, it’s corrupting the training data for models to come. What happens when AI eats itself?
