We use Bing to search for ecommerce shipping addresses, and then analyze the results to identify whether a property is vacant or listed for sale. This helps us determine whether the address is being used as a "dead drop" for fraudulent purposes. The information is then fed into our fraud prevention model.

This price increase of 3.5 to 10 times the original amount is unacceptable and not justified.

almost 10x'd their pricing. because they actually think they have a shot at being a contender as a search engine.

They may have forgotten that they actually have to get there first.

I thought Bing and AI would be different, but this feels like a classic Microsoft ecosystem fuck-up.
