Nextdns or pihole

And do you connect to your home network via VPN or something? Curious how this helps when on your phone's cellular connection

You can setup the phone to use encrypted dns like nextdns.

How do you guys manage proper ad blocking on mobile? I haven’t gotten anything to work successfully (iOS).

Phone runs a wireguard vpn client, uses pihole to perform dns lookups [1]. I haven't noticed anything being slower with the vpn on vs off and using whatever the mobile phone company provides for dns. Pihole deals with that page well.

Wireguard is pretty great.

[1] I configure pihole to use a local unbound installation on the same machine but you don't have to bother with that at all https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/

AdAway can install itself as a VPN provider on your Android phone for the sole purpose of modifying traffic and blocking content. It is not actually a VPN. https://adaway.org/

I also use Wireguard (and also Tailscale), but the battery impact is significant such that I only use it when specifically need to. How do you find the impact?

Same question for android.

I use Kiwi Browser, it's based on Chrome but allows you to install extensions like uBlock

You are assuming sama is not bullshitting you about the whole “own AGI” and “capture all the value in the lightcone” gobbledygook. It sounds like a high-stakes game? Of course it does! Sama isn’t some technical wizard, but an entrepreneur. He’s marketing his (completely ordinary) company. There’s a world where ChatGPT and other GenAI tools are a multi-trillion dollar market, but where they also don’t get anywhere clo…

Occam's razor actually suggests the opposite to be. Tool AIs want to be agent AIs, after all. https://gwern.net/tool-ai

Sorry, you need to get off the internet if you think that the simplest explanation is that an AI singularity is right around the corner.

Gwern, Bostrom, Yudkowski et. al. are terrific sci-fi writers, but I’d advise against taking them too seriously.
