A little reminder that DuckDuckGo is venture capital (VC) funded.
The way VC works:
1. You get VC
2. You grow as fast as you can (or fail fast)
3. You sell (either to a larger corporation or to the public in an IPO; this is called the “exit”)
(In case any of you are surprised by recent/future developments.)

Is there a free, privacy friendly AI like duck.ai from #duckduckgo that can create images? No registration, just using it?

That's a first. #DuckDuckGo is #DuckDuckDead

We're experiencing an outage.
Thanks for your patience while we get our ducks in a row

DuckDuckGo isn't good...
It's a lesser evil.
It got problems.
ie. one is the ad network from Microsoft that appears on Duck Duck Go.

Well, I just switched my default search engine from #DuckDuckGo to #Ecosia. DDG's search results now include pointless AI slop summaries as the default. Not on my browser, guys.

What the heck happened?
Did DuckDuckGo side with the "devil"?
They working with Microsoft? I thought they had their own ads...
looks like the "basic income model" for Duck Duck Go never worked...
Maybe this proves you can't have perfect privacy from a company because it will fail at some point.
The business model is flawed I think.
