     @PamelaBarroway @ai6yr Nope. There are none. Everyone claiming to have one is a liar reselling Bing and Google.

     @dalias Actually, the article says Duck Duck Go will retain access, fwiw. 🤷🏻♀️ @ai6yr

     @CavedaleRhones @PamelaBarroway @ai6yr Yeah absolutely. Like, what are they giving in exchange for retaining access?

     (Obvious answer: sending personally identifiable information of their users, contrary to promise that it's private, to Microsoft who in turn sends it to law enforcement & intelligence agencies.)

     @aburka @CavedaleRhones @PamelaBarroway @ai6yr Yeah, they're probably laundering breaking their privacy promises as "AI training".
