For me, it was opt in, turned off by default. Apparently it’s turned on if you opt in to studies, but I definitely never do.

I counted one more, and there’s a couple others I take umbrage at.

AI-only features:

• AI Chatbots
• Perplexity
• Shake to Summarize (iOS)

Monopoly-only features:

• Visual Search (a Google version of an extension with better options)

AI-“enhanced” features:

• Link previews
• Tab groups

“It sounds like you want low-end devices to be turned into thin clients for cloud-based operating systems. Do I have that right?”

Just one glance at that website and you can see it has been created for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Questions and answers are measured in their value by how much money speculators have thrown at them.

You might as well ask questions on the Polymarket…

“Great pick by [Donald Trump]. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.”

- Andy Yen, Proton CEO

“Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.”

- Proton

They could both be right… From a certain point of view.

Within FAIR, LeCun has instead focused on developing world models that can truly plan and reason. Over the past year, though, Meta’s AI research groups have seen growing tension and mass layoffs as Zuckerberg has shifted the company’s AI strategy away from long-term research and toward the rapid deployment of commercial products.

LeCun says current AI models are a dead end for progress. I think he’s correct.

Zuckerberg appears to believe long term development of alternative models will be a bigger money drain than pushing current ones. I think he’s correct too.

It looks like two guys arguing about which dead end to pursue.

The only reason I’m gonna be smart enough to bring water to concerts is because I read this thread.

PSA: Many extensions already support keyboard shortcuts, and Firefox allows you to change them. This might include your favorite extension.

It’s a reference to Arnold Palmer, whose estate tried (or threatened?) to sue them after they used the name “Armless Palmer” for a flavor.

Of course other billionaires would be thin-skinned enough to feel offended by that…

Would you like to claim that Bitcoin crap doesn’t infest Nostr?

I don’t know why you would refer to a man who believes Bitcoin is a gift from God as evidence his protocol isn’t about Bitcoin

I was talking about “The Browser Choice Alliance, representing Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi”

Of course it’s not a coincidence.

Great.

Bye.

Either you believe that the Bitcoin infestation is all just a total coincidence, or you don’t. Why don’t you tell us what you think, instead of JAQing off about it?

I provided proof. With links.

Will you back up your claims that the Bitcoin crap that infests the app and its community is just a coincidence?

Do you genuinely believe that? Or do you just think that everybody here is gullible?

I have a hard time taking the “alliance” seriously when all three (mentioned) browsers are slightly different skins of Google Chromium.

But unsurprisingly, they are correct about their competitor this time.

I asked you for counterevidence to the claims, not apologism. The fact they left the smoking gun on their own website is enough for me, but clearly you have an agenda of your own.

Unless you expect everyone here to believe that the protocol, the clients, the funders, and the creators all just coincidentally love Bitcoin, you’ve got a lot of explaining to do.

Can you provide any counterevidence to the claims?

To quote them: “Nostr was kickstarted mostly by a community of Bitcoiners, so it has disproportionately attracted the attention of Bitcoiners.”

The “optional” Bitcoin payment system is baked into the biggest Nostr clients.

The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it. Today, basically nobody uses it except for cryptocurrency shills. (I don’t say that as merely an insult. The people on it constantly post about cryptocurrency or use cryptocurrency-specific in-jokes.)
