I don't know if this exists already, but I imagine a headless browser on a server that when it loads content will:

1. always start a new session,
2. fuzz the user agent data (load with different sizes, fake the browser, etc),
3. grab the content minus the ads and fluff, and send it along to the client.

This could be quite private (no fingerprinting, though IP address would be a potential tracking vector).

One of mine and my wife's favourite couples activity was to browse r/aww. With the Reddit shenanigans still happening, does anyone know of anything to replace this?

Elderflower wine because I am not dealing with the champagne nonsense.

It might be slightly sparkling as apparently the yeast was a little stuck, but it's pretty dry so hopefully - HOPEFULLY, it won't ferment much more. Else I will have an extra coating on my walls.

Also I'd love to hear your thoughts on this @amywebb.

Massive fan of your work, too. I've listened to The Genesis Machine, great book, thank you.

Two of my favourite people to listen to on that panel.

@plibin Hi Phil, I really enjoyed the episode of TWiT with you speaking. Also, I love your work.

Re: The capabilities of ChatGPT. You mention it can write and not think. I don't believe version 3.5 doesn't "think", but GPT-4 has me unsure.

The Sparks of AGI Paper https://tinyurl.com/5d4thdm8 has some compelling arguments for me, including it's ability to grasp Theory of Mind, and some common sense logical problems that (to my knowledge) don't exist as part of its training set.

#Bing seem to moving to a "Copilot for the web", I think if they are going to cultivate a better future for everyone they need to consider the sustainability of harvesting information from external sources.

What incentives do these websites have to serve their data to this tech and bypass their adverts, affiliates, etc.

One possible solution would be for Bing to provide some protocol that allows those sites to serve additional content within their control (such as ads)

I get there's a lot of hype around LLMs like #chatgpt, but it's fascinating to me we might have barely scratched the surface of the tools we have right now.

In the video we see techniques used prompt the #gpt4 into self-reflecting and improving it's own answers, improving upon it's baseline scores

I see people rejoicing in the idea they can use generative models to make them more productive so they can work less or earn more.

I worry they will be in for a shock.

But, I am no economist, so perhaps this is different

If this is true OpenAI can effect a blow to one of the largest criticism of #ChatGPT, demonstrating it is is possible to "control truth" within the text transformer.

A lot of people are dubious that this is possible with a text transformer.

I suppose the biggest flaw in this idea is it could be gamed.

I feel dirty coming from Firefox, but I really like the Arc Web browser, I hope we see a trend towards embracing that kind of experience in the open source world, or rather the choice to.
