Brave browser has a filter to bypass paywalls. Works on desktop and mobile versions. Definitely works on NYT as I just read something there today. And of course has built in adblock. You can also add additional filters and adblock lists.

Bonus: print to PDF in Brave to share an article with someone else. It retains all the graphics relevant to the article and cuts all the junk and ads out too.

Came to say this. And they make mobile browsers. If I want to share a paywalled article with someone I just load it up in brave and print it to PDF then send them that. Works every time!

The entry on Marijuana is absolutely wild.

This is something that some people read and genuinely believe whole. This is 10,000% propaganda. Just unbelievable.

The general public still doesn't seem to grasp the current capabilities of AI. It's still just mimicry. AI is a parrot that "learns" something and repeats it to the best of it's ability, but it doesn't understand the thing it learned. You can teach a bird to say "Polly want a cracker" but it doesn't know what a cracker is, and while it does have wants like any other animal, it doesn't know what "want a cracker" actually means.

ML models get a billion images of mushrooms and then "learn" what "mushroom" looks like, but even if the images of mushrooms are properly labeled poisonous and not poisonous, it doesn't really know that in the same way humans do. And it gets even worse when the AI tries to make new things from those sets it's trained off, which all of those certainly do. Making new mushrooms that don't exist, how can it tell which one of these new fantasy mushrooms are poison and which ones aren't? It can't know, but it sure as hell can make it up.

Hell, most AI can't even get text right.

Don't trust AI for anything that isn't hard coded math, or systems that reference and directly quote known good sources without doing any kind of creative embellishments.
