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

If you use Safari, the blockers from the App Store work fine (I use 1Blocker). If you use a third party browser, they don't get access to Safari's blockers (for no good reason, it's all WebKit after all) so you'll need to use a browser that provides its own blocking in some way.

On Android I use the insecure and questionable approach of Kiwi browser, which will run desktop chrome plugins including Ublock. Interested to hear if anyone has a better solution.

Checkout uBlock Origin https://ublockorigin.com/

For iOS I use Brave. Not as good as desktop uBlock Origin, but good enough.

Haven't found anything more effective on iOS yet.

On Android you can use Firefox with uBlock Origin... no? It's been a few years.

I use Brave, which has built in ad blocking.

And, this is news? Companies' core value is "make money fast and repeatable". Anything else is just window dressing to get employees to work for you and get customers to buy from you. And as companies hit the top of the sigmoid curve, they will crank every lever to extract smaller amounts of profit, while cannibalizing what made them special (hello enshittification).

Not this one's it isn't. This one's is literally "own means of production" uh sorry "own AGI". This is potentially a post-money objective. You can say a lot of things about sama but he does play high stakes games.

> This is potentially a post-money objective.

Can you elaborate?

1Blocker looks like the equivalent of unlock origin lite I use in Firefox except the darned thing is yet another subscription service. I wish I could get u lock origin on iOS and just make a one time donation/payment to the developer.

As bad as I want to read past the first paragraph, it’s not even worth it to spend another second on this ad-ridden website.

No reason to, here is an AI generated Summary (thanks Kagi):

- OpenAI recently changed its core values from ones focused on thoughtfulness, impact, collaboration to ones focused on artificial general intelligence and scale.

- The new core values were changed without explanation and raise questions about how core they truly were.

- The top new core value is an "AGI focus" but OpenAI's definition of AGI has shifted from superhuman to average human-level intelligence.

- OpenAI was originally founded to build beneficial AI but has shifted to a for-profit model, which led to co-founder Elon Musk's departure.

- The company now describes itself as focused on building safe and beneficial AGI.

- OpenAI's goals and self-descriptions have changed over time along with its shifting business model and leadership changes.

- Questions remain around what exactly OpenAI means by AGI and its commitment to ensuring AI safety.

- The new core values list comes across as vague marketing language.

- OpenAI's focus now appears to be primarily on developing general artificial intelligence for commercial purposes.

- The article raises concerns about OpenAI's lack of transparency and consistency in its stated goals and values over time.
