Okay. Define “intelligence”.

You don’t see how reading is better than watching a video?

I think I might like them better if they didn’t auto-play. I hate anything that auto-plays.

Hasn’t the Turing Test been irrelevant for a while now? Even before the new AI boom?

Artificial intelligence is a moving target. Every time a goal gets reached, they just move the goalposts, because “well, obviously this isn’t real intelligence”.

Feel free to downvote and ignore them. Presumably, the people who posted them thought that they were worthy, and I doubt their minds were changed by your non-argument here.

People literally died for us to have these things enshrined in law.

How many of those people were bosses?

The mass of people don’t use any ad-blocking at all.

Brave also has its own blockers built in. All of which, I’m told by this article, are still not as good as uBO.

Whatever. Just use Firefox for your daily driver and only use Chromium when absolutely necessary.

Or don’t. It will become obvious which browser has the better blocker.

Or just do what I do. Use Firefox and only keep Chromium around for those few sites that work better in Chromium.

Nooooo, but MV3 is all about security!

This is how I know this is bullshit. I was reading the article and thinking "So, let me get this straight. The ads aren’t the security risk. It’s the ad blockers!"

Sure. Pull the other one.

You’re correct, but your argument is bad. I also paid $0 for Linux.

You used to. Not anymore. Musk made it so that if you try to view somebody’s profile, and you aren’t logged in, you don’t see anything except for a big box asking you to log in.

Also, it’s not so much about stalking per se, but being able to reshare posts (and thus bully) their targets. The way X is right now, they’d have to have a direct link to the post in question and then screenshot it.

A couple of good examples are lifehacker.com and lifehack.org. Both sites used to have excellent content. The sites are still up and running, but the first one has turned into a collection of listicles and the second is an ad for an “AI-powered life coach”. All of that old content is gone and is only accessible through the Internet Archive.

In fact, many domains never shut down, they just change owners or change direction.

The attacker(s) apparently just did it to do it.

I agree that AI can be helpful for bouncing ideas off of. It’s been a great aid in learning, too. However, when I’m using it to help me learn programming, for example, I can run the code and see whether or not it works.

I’m automatically skeptical of anything they tell me, because I know they could just be making something up. I always have to verify.

So, let me get this straight…you “thirst for an answer”, but you don’t care whether or not the answer is correct?

The problem with getting answers from AI is that if they don’t know something, they’ll just make it up.

How is that better than a web browser? Web browsers were supposed to be the “everything app”.

This is partly corporate greed and partly a failure of the Web. A website should be all you need. You shouldn’t need a separate app for every little thing.

Didn’t he pay too much for it in the first place?
