Tangential, but Google provides many answers to various questions in an intuitive way above the fold and without having to click on various articles / URLs. This is great, but also drives traffic away from websites, keeping everything on Google.com! Can't wait to see how Google implements its 'Bard'[0] system alongside search.

Is the https://bing.com/new link working? I'm not sure if it's not live yet or if I'm not seeing it because I'm checking from a Mac (via both Chrome and the OSX version of Edge)

It works for me.

Edit - Well, it gives me the waitlist at least. Possibly because I am in the MS corp net - changes may not have propagated? IDK.

Bing does this as well, that isn't new to either platform. It's useful but also is wrong a lot. (ChatGPT and Bard [terrible name] will also get a lot wrong.)

bing.com/new is supposed to work from their slides, but may not be live yet.

Is anyone having success with the https://bing.com/new link? I'm not seeing it, but I'm not sure if that's because I'm on a Mac (via both Chrome and the OSX version of Edge)

The Edge integration announced today also looks very impressive. I chuckled at the thought that MS is probably about to make a daily Edge user out of me and a lot of other people, but of course Edge is Chrome under the hood now. So Google beat MS to browser market dominance, and now MS is using their browser as a platform to go after Google's core business. Neat. I think this tech is going to be transformative for ev…

I'm using Edge full time since it switched to chromium. Have absolutely no problems with it.

I have mixed feelings about this.

I like the integration and the helpfulness, reminds me of the ships computer off the Enterprise in Star Trek in that it can be very useful for collecting information to help learn and make decisions.

Things I don't like: This adds a layer between content creators and the user, its opaque, we don't know what filtering, censoring is happening, how accurate the information is that is being derived, how laws are being interpreted, how legal, untested gray areas are handled.

Also how are the content creators going be compensated, I think this could lead to more and more content being put behind barriers to help protect income and IP.

Edge is genuinely very very good. It does have some dev tool problems that I've run into, but for browser it's top notch.

Does it nag you constantly and do everything it can to steal data from you? I think lots of Microsoft products are now technically very good, but I don't like using them because they can't stop annoying me about stuff, and every time I turn my back are committing industrial espionage.

I've never used Bing. Heavy user of DuckDuckGo though, which uses Bing as a source. DDG also has Q&A tech. Heavy user of its currency conversion feature, so it tells me what `100 dollars in Euro` is.

Am I the only person annoyed that the first 30 links on this page are to 'theverge.com'? I want to get to Bing itself. Or at least the waitlist. I don't want to have to parse through so much text and get distracted.

In fact, the only place where 'bing.com/new' shows up is in the source code used for what I think is SEO. I cannot find an href anywhere pointing to bing.com/new

So here it is: https://bing.com/new
