@thegibson THANK YOU.. I thought this was just me and I have been fiddling for like 10 minutes. It happens the moment i installed a facebook adblock extension (one that i used for years beforehand) so I was convinced it was me
@tripu YAY!I love the idea, especially since I never ask for donations as I feel that would be a sort of advertising and not in good taste. This way if someone wants to give one they can without being asked or guilted!
@tripu I just added qoto.org as a verified site for brave rewards. It was relatively simple to do.
@shockrah Never even heard of it honestly. But I'm always down to check out new tech.
@waystem The what now?
@tripu And yes I have a bit of an investment in BAT and crypto in general. That said BAT is not a high priority for the crypto I hold. Its a few thousand worth in USD at most, I think 5K but I'd have to check.
@tripu My #1 priority is blocking all ads, and i havent really tried firefox I mostly used chrome with ABP.
With that said I've always said that I would happily pay whatever they make off serving me ads to have those ads go away. So while I wouldnt say being able to make micropayments is a **motivation** it is something I am more than willing to do if it keeps the ads away.
I think I am about to officially more from Chrome browser to Brave browser.
Whenever my ad block software didnt cut it for some reason I tried the same page in Brave and every single time it seems to have managed to block the ads. It even blocks the popups that say "please disable your ad blocker" as well as the paywall on a lot of news sites. Not sure why but Brave is the only solution I've seen that is this effective. It is more than enough to convince me to make the switch.
@waltercool All I see there is a badly addicted son dealing with a very troubling addiction and a father who appears to care.
@Jdogg247 literally me
@finity yea this one is certainly very different. I hope it wasn the AZ one though, I heard they recently pulled that one from the market in germany for anyone not at extremely high risk due to blood clot risks.
@biomedmax beautiful!
@Wetrix my brain cells taxed with remembering the movie cry out in pain every day

Redeem himself for what? His opinions did no harm, and were perfectly reasonable within context.
I wouldnt say thats entierly true, though we havent reached the point where it is like the movies yet.
Often we can set rather simple goals for AI and it may have consequences as a result of its optimization that are unique to AI and not in line with our intended goals.
One example would be that AI might identify that most minorities have a poor credit rating. Therefore it may assume minorities are untrustworthy recipients of loans when they do not have any credit history and explicit deny them loans based on their race. While that may be in line with the goal of "maximize selecting people who are likely to pay back loans" it has unintended effects that is not in line with our goals which implies some sense of racial neutrality.
@lucifargundam These are the true modern day terrorists.
