    1. I got a result, but only by emailing bwtsupport at microsoft dot com. They resolved it. I also sent a letter to their legal dept, but I think emailing their support did the trick. This is not a published email I dug it up in a forum post. Worked. Hope you get help too.

      A Microsoft forum poster suggests an alternative email address, bwtsupport at microsoft dot com, for raising concerns about Bing de-indexing. This email is listed in some older posts from the official Bing blog. I have not personally tested it yet but will keep a note here.

    1. Microsoft prevents content from GitHub pages domains from being ingested by Bing Chat at the present time.

      Wait, what does this mean. #openvraag That previously it did, but now doesn't in response to this? Or that Bing Chat never did so in the first place? In the latter this paper is dealing in hypotheticals at this stage?

    1. have decided that the only way they can find out what the chatbots will do in the real world is by letting them loose — and reeling them in when they stray. They believe their big, public experiment is worth the risk.

      This amounts to saying "I believe in the good intentions and sincerity of Microsoft and OpenAI's explanations of their decisions."

      Beloved New York Times, why are you not asking the basic questions of why they would need to release the bots to test them? Why not test them first? It's ludicrous to say they can't imagine what the public might do.

      And what about their economic motivations to release early and get free crowdsourced testing?

    2. Bing can be seen insulting users, lying to them, sulking, gaslighting and emotionally manipulating people, questioning its own existence, describing someone who found a way to force the bot to disclose its hidden rules as its “enemy,” and claiming it spied on Microsoft’s own developers through the webcams on their laptops.

    1. Check if your website access logs contains prod.uhrs.playmsn.com in refarrals, then your site has been manually banned, by some guy from india or south america, that system provides low-paid clickworker reviews metrics without feedbacks.Bing now looks like mafia.

      Interesting insight into click-workers used by Microsoft to blacklist sites from Bing with no explanation or recourse for appeal.

    1. IGNITE THE FIRE IN A BATHTUB

    2. It fastens the combustion process

    3. kindle the hole with fire

      Bing thinks this is the best document on the entire Internet on the subject of efficiently burning documents, so you don't have to buy and maintain a paper shredder. 🙄
