    Well I guess it’s true that AI tells us what we want to hear…

    Also did Duck Duck Go go stupid AI… I thought that literally was the search engine for people who are sick of googles BS.

    okay you know what maybe i do want to use ddg’s ai now.

    we have to speak of percentages. like this moves it from a 5% yes 95% no to a 20% yes 80% no. Unfortunately, the best way to get me to do something is to make me laugh. I wish logic worked better than humor on me, but i know my levers.
