"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

For the record, this is specifically because DuckDuckGo doesn't want to store any information about you, so everything gets handled client side. That means they have no way to tell that you are the same person unless you're using the same client with the same cookies.
Basically, DuckDuckGo forgets because it was built to be forgetful. That's how respecting privacy works.
