A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

bing chat is pretty great, not only do you get the benefits of search and gpt4 but also summarizing/answering questions on the webpage you have open or pdfs if you open them in edge. Only issue is that it is slower
Now are these companies stealing everything and possibly opening up a cesspit that their platforms will fall into? Absolutely. These tools are literally removing the ability for them to advertise because they are leading to less link traffic that would have google ads or otherwise and also the degradation of search tools... but by god its super useful for now
only real problem for me personally is that it gives low barrier to entry to ask about any question that pops in my ADHD brain, so I keep having more and more questions that never stop. Learning a lot tho
