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

Firefox Focus acts as a content blocker, and it cleaned up tfa quite nicely.

It also works in Safari, don’t have to use firefox focus.

"Completely different"? All of the new values listed are practically synonyms of the former (with the exception of the "AGI focus" addition). This article is clickbait at best

agree with this. in their new values, they literally use the same words that were in the old ones ("unpretentious", "collaboration"). I also dont think this is a change "at the drop of a hat" as the article suggests - OpenAI's been through a major inflection point with GPT3.5/4, and the company's not the same one it was a few years ago. It makes sense to make updates to the company's core values

Given that it's still Sam Altman, and his core value are "we market towards what will make us money", not all that different. The term "AI" has run its course, initially pulling in capital left and right, and that's drying up now that open source can do what the big boys came up with, too. So: rename the work to AGI, start a new hype train, and get the capital streams flowing anew.

> his core value are "we market towards what will make us money" That's exactly what "make something people love" means. To love a product means to pay money for it.

I love air, consciouness and wall on forests. :)

People love all kind of things that aren't necessarily ethical, or good for them, good for society, etc.

But does anyone really, actually love enterprise accounting software? Or do they pay money for it because it’s a means towards something they actually love?

The real question would be why anyone cares about empty mission statements like this anyway? Parsing them for meaning is nearly as useful as parsing your morning bowel movement to predict your day.

My health insurance makes people money, but I don't love my health insurance.

lol the classic "AI is just a hype buzzword because some people use it as a hype buzzword" take. Your cynicism doesn't make you sound smart given it's clear how much you are viewing things just at surface level. Also FOSS competitiveness is only due to fine tuning models from big firms, without it FOSS has nothing.
