Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Drag took your advice, and it only gave drag the answer drag wanted. It wasn't as good at figuring out which question drag was asking, but it made up for that by not wasting half the screen real estate on other answers. Ecosia beats Google at answering drag's question today.

sorry, can't let this post go without calling out the greenwashing ecosia that has a chatgpt integration while they only report their own energy stats with a limp "it's too early to tell uwu" when it comes to openai as a provider

Valid. Drag refused to look at any ads anyways, because fuck ads. Do you have a more ethical suggestion?

Multiple options available depending on what you want. Duckduckgo for Bing results. Startpage for Google and Bing.

I've been quite happy with Startpage for a while now and there are multiple options depending on just how badly you want to avoid Google.
