@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Solution: use a browser that allows AI to be disabled, or better yet, a browser that doesn't include AU summaries at all.
@Tutanota@mastodon.social I know this is a throwaway comment but I will say it anyway. Was an early adopter of FB, now I can't stand to even look at it. Never used IG, never will. No need for loops, shorts, whatever.
@jeffowski who do you believe, a president who created the national park system, or a tool whose only goal is oppressing others? Tough choice, I get it.
@billyjoebowers it's been a while since I used der gurgle for search. Sad, actually, since they were so much better than competing search engines at the time. Now they're just an ad factory with maximum snoopiness.
@greenpeace@mastodon.social While those are important goals I'm concerned about so-called "AI"s impact on searches. I have read about studies (citation needed) that indicate that having AI summaries returned for web searches tends to have the effect of causing users to request fewer pages of search results. It implies that these AI summaries tend to reduce web searches because people are just taking the summaries as the result. Orwell said it in 1984, you know, the part about "He who controls the past" etc.
@Endof10 so I am one with no path forward after win 10 ends support. I have a couple of possible options, opinions anyone? 1) Switch to Linux mint and take my chances for gaming with windows emulation, or, 2) dual boot win 10 and Linux mint, or, 3) install Linux mint and run win 10 in a virtual machine, or, 4) install Linux mint and buy a steam deck, hoping that all of my retro gaming can be accommodated.
