I'm surprised this has so many upvotes when there's a headline and maybe 5 sentences before hitting a paywall
I'm just here for goblin content.
I’m willing to bet it’s people seeing an ‘AI bad’ headline, upvoting, and moving on without reading.
I don’t like AI either but the hivemind on the fediverse is just as bad as back on Reddit sometimes.
Nah it's because it made em think about goblin tiddies.
Just use bpc clean extension
U don't use bypass to paywalls clean by magnolia? Wsj just works without paywalls
No, I'm not sure if it works with my mobile browser
For with mobile firefox
This does make me wonder because gemini now has an area for sorta global instructions. I immediately put a few in and came up with issues where they would not stick. gemini itself says some things are part of settings that are internal and says its being put there but I can't see it. Further it clearly seems to ignore them sometimes. Most of mine were about not using analogies or personas and listing references and marking refrences that are just searches. Seeing this article its like is it ignoring this in a black box kinda way? because I assumed it was something google had in its unsseable configurations or did gemini just make that up to.
