Noai.ducduckgo is my go to

I think what will happen is the big name corporate sites will collapse and the amount of online users will drop to just folks that have a use or passionate interest.

Oh for the love of. Just invest in the fucking Activity Pub and similar FOSS Decentralized systems people.

Yeah sorry but if all our basic needs could be provided via AI and Robots then there is going to be an increase in immigration.

Some to escape, but the rest because with basic needs fulfilled they will have to availability to travel for personal pleasure and such.

Or you really don’t understand the profession in question.

The Tech bros are not the standard of a Programmer (if they even are programmers by trade to begin with.)

And ass lawyers that defend the corporates and dictators are not the standard of a lawyer by Trade.

It’s Capitalism that is to blame as things like AI are profit generators

Oh indeed that there is certainly a big flaw and I hope the Wikipedia volunteers can counter that

Not when the source is paying that part of the bill, AKA the AI company (or in this case Microsoft.)

“You can plug our site into your AI models. But you need to pay the estimated cost of the increased traffic plus some odd percentage.”

I am honestly only guessing myself since greed doesn’t make sense for a non-profit foundation that is funded entirely by good will donations

I am referring to the reply comment from surewhynotlem. They say that cost is 180 million while Wikipedia has 170 million on hand. That is a 10 million deficit.

While probably not enough to shut down the site it is still operating in the red.

Where I was going is explaining how it’s possibly not greed. Just the foundation looking for another revenue source that theoretically would not ruin the site.

That alt being a deal that gets Wikipedia more traffic

Well as mentioned Wikipedia seems to be in the red and not making enough donations to pay for the expenses. So maybe the foundation is thinking it would help with the deficit.

Also chances are Microsoft will instruct Co-Pilot to prioritize Wikipedia whenever it scours the internet for information.

Think it like that eye rolling Google paying Firefox to be the default search engine deal.

You do know Programers are behind the Fediverse correct?

It’s a non-profit foundation with the majority being volunteers. If greed was the case one then would have to ask is why not just go ahead and inject ads

Now if GW made nice and let fan works be allowed

I think we have a misunderstanding. I am referring to duckduckgo.com. Not the no ai version.

Unless one makes sure to stay logged into DDG you’re always going to get the default. So for all intents and purposes yeah you do “need.” To use the worst experience.

Currently the default is the AI being on. It’s why I personally changed search engines for my browser because I don’t want the damn AI

Isn’t this channel also AI? It’s mostly the visuals being stick figure with JPEG images that make me suspect.

Ok reading the article honestly your best go to is a used TV that is non-smart.

Didn’t delete more like moved to to be replying to the article proper

Erm pretty sure Nuclear Fusion is a thing. Meaning Fusion research involves nuclear material

While we maybe researching and contributing into Fusion we are not at all looking into making use for the energy grid. At most just if it can be used for the Data Centers

(Which is yes we could but I think providing free energy for homes is a better use you ask me.)
