"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

In an effort to stem the bleeding from the backlash about their AI usage and their CEO's meltdown, they decide to do the exact opposite and go all in.

...I'm tired, boss.

FYI you can get unlimited aliases with duckduckgo mail (still need an email provider though)

FYI, if you alias using someone else's domain, you fall into the same trap all over again when, say, DDG goes full AI wackjob and now you need to transfer hundreds of email addresses.

let's not forget they have a specific page so you never get in contact with ai slop: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

I use that search engine but it needs a lot of work. Do a photo search and you will see a lot of slop. I've been reporting ai slop sources but ddg doesn't update their filter.

it is not great for pictures, yeah

its not the default and it took user protest to add. opting in to that is identifying. they will turn to shit. it is inevitable.

i mean sure, the way i use aliases is mainly for things i want no direct connection to, so losing them wouldn't be of any consequence to me. i feel like that's the main way there were intended to be used as they can be disabled with the click of a button (from within the email even).
