Senior backend engineer (the kind of thing I would do):
"Implementing AI-assisted answers and integrating them into our Search product"

Not evil? Ha! Hahaha!

@drewph @evacide Yeah, DDG is slimy af. Promoting AI slop and misrepresenting themselves as a search engine rather than a Google+Bing reseller.

@toriver @drewph @evacide After Google I'd hoped everyone would have learned. A search engine needs to be saying one of:

1. "We are not a business. We will not be run as a business, and here is how we intend to fund operations without being a business", or

2. "We are a business. Here is the way we make money and here is how we've set that up so that it does not conflict with your interests as a user of the service."

"Um, we're doing exactly like old Google with pinky-promises about 'evil' and no clear legitimate way to make money, and actively partnering with them and Microsoft to repackage their results" does not cut it.
