@AAKL problem is part of the tradeoff for them to look impressive and do what they can do came at not addressing the abuse avenues. part of it's oops bugs and part of it is probably known but ignored to focus on what they were working on and part is honestly baked in to making that actually work at least in the time they wanted it.

@AAKL it isn't. and it will likely be a problem for anthropic, perplexity, and petty much any others. Similar to how social media regardless of platform gets fake/spam accounts and scammers keep running fake numbers on the phone/text. it's "cheap" and it works.

@AAKL seems like that will be whack a mole

Quick win to (hopefully?) address an annoying problem

Your Ecosia searches in Germany just became more independent.

Earlier this month, we started delivering results from our European search index to some searches in Germany, and plan to serve a majority of German search queries by Janaury.

Right now, most searches in Europe depend on infrastructure controlled by just a few US companies.

So we built an alternative.

Together with @Qwant, we created European Search Perspective, a European search index for more choice and digital sovereignty 🚀

Been away a bit (nixos2 drama, more about that soon), but the Paramount-Warner Bros. saga kept moving without me: EU cleared it with conditions, then Paramount agreed to freeze the whole deal until a trial happens — maybe not until June 2027. Both sides are calling it a win. Let's see why.
