The futility of Ad-Blockers
Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.
It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

One serious problem I've noticed, experimenting with Grok, is that the AI seems to be motivated to tell you what it thinks you want to hear. If you don't anchor your queries in a direct piece of reference material (like a PDF that you can upload to Grok), then eventually, based on the form your questions take, Grok will give you increasingly sophisticated validations of the leading intent in your own questions.
It would be like having a conversation with a friend who doesn't want to offend you. You ask probing questions of him, like, "Isn't such-and-such like so-and-so?" and he always responds (regardless of the content) with "You COULD say that..." and launches into a lengthy rationalisation for whatever it is he's being asked to agree with.
