Resolving the privacy paradox gabrielweinberg.com/p/resolv…
Revealed preference arguments often have hidden flaws
No, everyone is not using AI for everything. gabrielweinberg.com/p/people…
People are consuming AI like they eat meat: some are embracing it, some are limiting their use of it, and some are avoiding it altogether.
A "patchwork" of AI laws is a feature, not a bug gabrielweinberg.com/p/a-patc…
If AI violates our privacy, takes our jobs, and potentially can destroy the world, then it’s too big for Congress to regulate alone
Gabriel Weinberg retweeted
People don't want AI forced on them. DuckDuckGo lets you choose.
The result? Since Google's AI overhaul, our U.S. installs peaked yesterday at 76% above the pre-announcement average, and we broke our single-day search record. 🔥
It's not a blip, it's a movement. Fire Google.

Not liking the direction Google is headed? Come to the Duck side.

On this side, user choice matters.
All AI features at DuckDuckGo are optional and links aren't going anywhere on our search engine.

Google Search as you know it is over.
The familiar blue links we’ve seen for 25 years are getting pushed out in favor of an “intelligent search box,” which Google is putting front and center as part of its all-in push for AI-powered experiences. The box will expand to accommodate for longer queries, and suggestions will be much more extensive versions of the autocomplete we’ve all seen in the search bar.
On top of all that, “information agents” are planned to release this summer, allowing you to track changes made to sites, whether it’s product prices or news updates, and alert you without any prompting.

🆕✍️Principles almost always have exceptions, often when they conflict with other principles (Rule 5). When principles conflict, a priority stack usually decides which one wins.
