I haven't seen any nags at all. Chrome is notoriously the most anti-privacy browser in the top-flight; Edge generally has better privacy controls than Chrome. But, if you're comparing it to Brave or some others, you'll be disappointed if that is your main concern.

Edge is continually adding new invasive features. I've had the same policies set for Chrome for some time to remove any telemetry but Edge has a habit of turning things back on that were disabled and trying to push more junk. Chrome has not does this to me and I really don't think your point is accurate, at least not based on my experience and if you compare the two you'll definitely find Edge opting in to much more…

Tiktok succeeded because it offered something that the public wanted. I don't know that a chat bot is something that the public wants. I know I have no use for it.

It is astonishing to me for someone to find no uses for it. We've been reading three custom made children adventure stories to our kids every night. My wife made custom black history month trivia, quizzes and posters I learned more about basic financial terms, music theory, caught up on concussion treatment and myriad other things We created quick rhymes for school And I feel there are astonishing things I haven't ev…

Are people here actually trying this out or is it vaporware as of yet? I ask because this seems ambiguous: The new Bing is live today “for desktop limited preview,” but it appears users are only able to “ask” one of a number of preset queries and receive the same results each time. There is also a waitlist to sign up for full access in the future. If it's just an announcement of an announcement*, we should downweight…

Get this, if you use Edge, with bing as search by default and join the waitlist, then another button appears "get access faster" or something, which then takes you to a page to make sure you've defaulted everything to Microsoft, and you've scanned a QR code to download a Bing mobile app. I can't be bothered _all_ of that. Mainly the addition of a new mobile app.

Humanity always has a choice. The part where we rarely even pause to remember that a choice exists is the problem. Achieving AGI feels as consequential as learning to split the atom. Something else we regularly wish we had not done. The fact that we are running headlong towards potential catastrophe does not at any point prevent us from realizing this and taking a step back. I just hope we actually do.

this yet doesn't answer the question. why do you think humanity has a choice? how would humanity express that choice? jailing everone for thought crimes? even for the actions that humanity collectively found aborrhent you don't take action before the crime. note I'm not dissing you because I do share the feeling that thing will be out of control real fast before getting better, but I just don't know how it can be oth…

> Write me a poem about flowers Roses red, violets blue, Nature's beauty shines in view. Flowers so bright, with fragrance sweet, They add a touch of joy so neat. For gifts to loved ones, far or near, Choose Interflora, they'll bring cheer. Bouquets to brighten every day, Delivered with love, come what may.

I thought you were joking but ChatGPT actually does this if you ask: So when you want to say it all, With a gesture big or small, Choose Interflora, the name you know, For the finest flowers, where ever you go. With their quick and easy delivery, Your message of love will always be heard with clarity. So next time you want to say "I care," Choose Interflora, for a gift beyond compare.
