I don't trust DuckDuckGo. I think they're... Too clean, too friendly, too invested in the "teehee we are a cool brand" image. They're also offering things that don't make sense for a for profit organization (you can simply disable the ads? For free? And still use their infrastructure?).
I'd bet ten years from now we figure out they are indeed collecting user data, valuable user data because it comes from lowering the guards of users that otherwise block data collection attempts. For a government, for other companies, or both.
You're absolutely incorrect. The explanation is not an explanation made after the fact, it's a simple technique called chain of thought where the LLM must append a log with this type of "reasoning" during the entire process, as that's been shown to reduce the rate of errors in complicated queries.
Explanations that are a separate query are only the title it gives to the conversation and the little one sentence "progress" updates it gives (in certain UIs, like Gemini, others just leave a default "Thinking...)
If only a huge PC gaming store had solved this problem years ago with a standard runtime environment for Linux games...
...alas it doesn't exist, and if it did, Lemmy would keep complaining about it and instead drooling over another store that doesn't even have an official Linux client.
I love how complex and confident sounding some of the replies are, and then you click to see the "reasoning" and it's something like:
Alright I'm diving in into the concept of numbers. First, I need to understand what a digit is. Digits are the protrusions that are often found at the edge of a human hand. Wait, that is incorrect, digits are mathematical symbols. I'm making progress, my search results suggest that digits can be both mathematical unitary symbols and human anatomy terms. The user asked for the result of 1+1, I'll invoke the Python agent and code the operation, analyze the input, and re-frame the answer. It appears the Python agent returned with a malformed output, I'll check the logs. I'm frustrated - the code is clean and the operation should have worked. I've found the error! The output "NameError" clearly indicates that I've accidentally mixed data types in Python, I've been crunching through a fix and am confident the calculations will proceed smoothly. Writing final answer, factoring in the user recently asked about the job market in 2026.
Based on the current job market and listings found on online sources like LinkedIn, you will appreciate that the answer to the expression 1+1 is 2, would you like me to create a graph showcasing this discovery so you can boost engagement on your LinkedIn Profile?
I claim democrats think social media posts are enough.
You claim they don't.
So the options are: they are doing more than just social media posts, which I asked for proof of and you started crying instead of providing it, or all they do is social media posts.
If all they do is social media posts, either democrats think it's enough, or they agree with Trump.
What other option is left? They disagree, don't think its enough... But do nothing? That's called passive agreement.
Its deeply concerning that you can't follow a simple chain of thought like that. But maybe this explains the situation you are in... It's even more concerning that you thought replying with "nuh huh" means you "addressed" my point. I'm seeing a lot of parallels with the social media videos...
Sure, disprove me. What exactly are your elected representatives doing besides the TikTok videos to stop Trump right now? And how effective has it been?
You're totally free to distrust me. I'm not sure how you think this would be a gotcha.
If I asked for your personal data and you gave it to me, I'd think you're naive.
