Feels oh so telling that xAI has to pay Telegram and not the other way around. If these offerings were so great wouldn't we all be clamoring for it?

No matter how good your offering is, you always need marketing if you are competing against an established behemoth in the space like OpenAI. Even Google has been unable to make much of a dent in OpenAI's daily active users despite having superior distribution and (recently) comparable quality. Grok 3 is legitimately one of the best general purpose models out there. People don't know about it because ChatGPT is "good…
$300m could buy you a hell of a lot of marketing, no? Then people could choose to use your product rather than be forced to. We’re side stepping the elephant in the room: X/xAI/Musk’s brand is toxic and forcing the product onto users is one of few paths available.

This statement is baking in a lot of personal convictions, even if they feel self-evident. Telegram has a billion users and not everyone one of them will share those views. This setup is a lot closer to Google paying Apple and Mozilla to be the default search engine than some desperate attempt to get people to play with your toys.

>Googles AI summaries, which are pinned to the top of results and can't be disabled You CAN disable them. Append -ai to your Google search query. You're welcome. Edit: curious why are people downvoting a helpful workaround?
Wonder if DDG can be convinced to append that automatically for !g queries...
(unfortunately not on this PC else I'd paste it)

How is it different than Google paying Firefox?
Paying a browser to become the default search engine is just to serve first. And, there is the argument users are not asking for, nor want Ai features, I bet most don't want it. They just want to chat, with humans that is.
They are inserting Ai everywhere they can, not to rank up their product as the kind of product people are looking for, against those of the competitors.
A browser without a default search engine is a downgrade for everyone. Although it would be more ethical if it simply prompted for which to default to. One could point at it and see an issue, but that's pretty different.

It's the next logical step after companies shoving AI into every corner of their own products regardless of whether their users want it - now they're paying other companies to shove AI things into their products regardless of whether their users want it. Genuine user interest doesn't come close to justifying their insane valuations so they have to put their thumb on the scale by shoving it everyones face and then pre…

I honestly don't care about the technical capabilities of the tool when I know it's being actively mismanaged. Incidentally, have you got a moment to talk about the white genocide in south africa?
> "Incidentally, have you got a moment to talk about the white genocide in south africa?" Is this some sort of joke, or are you genuinely wanting to discuss what's happening here in South Africa? If it's a joke, I think it's in very poor taste at the expense of a persecuted minority. I have seen it, experienced it, and know full well how real it is, no matter how much social-media pushes it one way or the other.

OP is using it as an example of mismanagement.

It is funny seing xAI, the trash-tier AI company, integrate with Telegram, the trash-tier messaging service.

Firefox: `Edit > Settings > Search > Add`, then set as default
This also disables Google's automatic product search mode that sometimes triggers.
Congrats everyone.

Grok3 could be leagues ahead of anything else in the game and yet a large portion of the western population would never use it due to its owners antics.
Most people have no idea who the CEO of the various tech companies are and don't care.
