> 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.

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

try not having health insurance... and you'll realize how much you'll love it

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 fro…

Questions remain around what exactly OpenAI means by “open” and “ai”.

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.

Yup, this. Should have clarified.

"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

Also as the organization grows, some things have to explicitly spelled out.

If me and best friends start a company, we can get by "Let's do good" and we all know what that means. In an organization with 1000 spread across the globe, that doesn't cut it and good needs to be explicitly spelled out

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.

Did I miss something? Since when is capital drying up in AI?

And since when the "open" models are as good as gpt4...

Checkout uBlock Origin https://ublockorigin.com/

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

I have been using purify, but it's like 5 years old and seems to be easily detectable by anti-adblockers.

I got several as they went on sale, and am trying AdBlock Pro right now, on the theory that newer and more up to date ones will more effectively anti-anti-adblock.

I found AdGuard Pro in my extensions. Must have been on sale, as it's the pricey "no subscription" version of the product. Will try if the above doesn't work out (I expect that it will)

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

A lot of people left firefox on android, when they removed their prior version/codebase a few years back, and introduced an alpha quality product with no extensions, endless crashes, and bugs galore. It took them a year or so to even add back in extension support. and so many things lacked for a long time. I don't feel like using a product that is so horribly planned, amd executed. Sheer incompetence.

raises hand I'm in this group. I finally gave up on mobile Firefox a few years back despite being a user and advocate for many years prior to that. The leadership and product decisions at Mozilla are indescribably bad and have done a huge amount of damage to formerly great product. Desktop Firefox still works ok, although it also suffers from too many bad product decisions.

For mobile I use Vivaldi which is not bad. The adblocker isn't as good as uBlock Origin but is mostly good enough, and the builtin dark mode works really well.

We need a word for these kind of randian sociopathies.
