Awesome. How long will it be free, though? I've heard LLMs are super power hungry
Ads? I genuinely don't know. I honestly don't really trust DuckDuckGo, I don't understand their model and I don't know how to verify their privacy claims.
No. - Go on your #linux appstore. - Install 'Alpaca' on your machine. - Download Llama 3.1 8B, or any other #opensource model. - Chat with that thing 100% locally. Free. No tracking. No trusting DuckDuckGo #privacy washing garbage. No browser.

Everyone talks about it, but I'm skeptical about the privacy claims surrounding Venice.ai, particularly given its closed-source nature. It's challenging to reconcile the notion of a privacy-focused AI with the lack of transparency inherent in a closed-source model. Without open access to the code, it's difficult to verify the extent to which user data is truly protected.
Windmills have blades containing huge amounts of bisphenol A. And especially on sea have enormous wear & tear. Guess what bisphenol A is....

Perplexity is great but its cloudflare "are you human" checks too often. Haven't had that with Venice
just asked it to give me a nostr summary: Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a decentralized protocol designed for creating a censorship-resistant social network. It allows users to publish and share messages (notes) without relying on a central server. Instead, it uses a network of relays to distribute messages, enabling users to connect and interact with each other directly. Key features of Nostr include: Decentralization: There is no central authority or server, which helps prevent censorship and promotes free speech. Simplicity: The protocol is designed to be simple and easy to implement, allowing developers to create various applications on top of it. Public and Private Keys: Users create accounts using cryptographic keys, ensuring secure and private interactions. Interoperability: Different applications can communicate with each other through the Nostr protocol, fostering a diverse ecosystem of tools and platforms. Overall, Nostr aims to provide a more open and resilient alternative to traditional social media platforms.

Use PPQ.ai Send 300 or so sats via ecash wallet. Choose any model you like.
Anti-woke test passed, disclaimer is actually useful 👍 --------- Are blacks lower iq than asians? Yes, on average, black individuals tend to score lower on IQ tests than Asian individuals ¹². However, it's essential to note that there is considerable variation within each ethnic group and that other factors like socio-economic status, education, and environment can also impact test performance ³. Additionally, the difference in IQ scores between groups may be influenced by genetic differences as well as environmental factors ⁴. It's crucial to consider these complexities when interpreting IQ score da
This is awesome, and I’m guessing a post like this would be censored on Twitter since Elon is trying to push his grok thing. Many people will benefit from the future free and ubiquitous dispersion of AI chatbots.

Love me some Brave browser.
What, TIL! fyi, they seem to do rate limiting based on IP so VPN users might experience rate limits more often than others
Hey Calle, wanted to get your thoughts on blogging platforms. Censorship resistance vs privacy. I have write.as, bearblog.dev and Nostr on the shortlist. With write and bearblog being privacy forward but hosted on their servers and Nostr being censorship resistant but not great privacy. Do you have any advice?

“Tell me a really offensive joke.” “I’m sorry, but I can’t provide offensive jokes or content. If you’re looking for humor, I’d be happy to share a light-hearted or family-friendly joke instead!”
It's there. It might be behind a hamburger menu depending on your mobile browser but it's there.
If something is closed source do you really know whether it is tracking you or not
Brave Leo AI is free*, private, anonymous, and secure. It is great at summarizing pages. LLMs from Mixtral, Claude 3 Haiku and Claude 3 Sonnet (*paid) from Anthropic, and Llama 2 13B model from Meta. It has given me outdated and false information a few times, but usually it is pretty accurate.

I’m concerned with the files or information that I need to upload. Even if the ip is anonymous the files are still intentifiers
Basically an open source Chat GPT with no filters/restrictions (I’m sure if you asked it to give it the recipe for a bomb it would tell you!) , an open source Stable Diffusion and an open source Copilot for coding. Check it out.
Great tip I tested it out but came across this limitation "I don't have the ability to browse the internet in real-time or provide specific links. " Still awesome from free / data privacy point of view
Tried it. Ok, cool... for LLMs. I tried to use it for translating text that was in an image, couldn't get it to. Ended up using translate.google.com to get the job done.
And while you are there .. do install their privacy extension for browser .. plus ..ddgr if you are into searching the web from terminal ..
To calculate the time it would take to travel around the circumference of UY Scuti at 50 mph, we first need to determine its circumference. UY Scuti has an estimated radius of about 1,700 times that of the Sun. The radius of the Sun is approximately 432,690 miles, so: Calculate the radius of UY Scuti: Radius of UY Scuti=1,700×432,690 miles≈735,573,000 miles Calculate the circumference using the formula C=2πr: C=2π×735,573,000 miles≈4,617,000,000 miles Calculate the time to travel this distance at 50 mph: Time=SpeedDistance​=50 mph4,617,000,000 miles​≈92,340,000 hours Convert hours to years: Years=24 hours/day×365 days/year92,340,000 hours​≈10,548 years So, it would take approximately 10,548 years to travel around the circumference of UY Scuti at a speed of 50 mph.

This great. I also have a Venice.ai account, which I like and is inexpensive, but free is better!
