      I’m trying to reconcile anonymous and you must use our app.

      I know there’s nothing explicitly deanonymizing about their browser… And the browser has built-in tor support… It just doesn’t feel anonymous when it’s restricted to a specific application… because the application must identify itself somehow.

    Brave is a really shady company. I don’t trust them any more than the others.

    So they’re using Claude for the premium tier? How do they know that none of that data is being collected by Anthropic? They have no control over it.

    If the free version is there to encourage you to use the premium version, how can it be anonymous?

    Just a reminder that services charging a monthly fee do not automatically mean they’re private. Anyways, just use venus chub ai instead 🤫

    All they need now is to promise VR and self driving cars, and they’ll have a hype-tech bingo.

    Pushing “machine learning” as “beneficial AI” appears to be a ploy to build profiles of everyone using all the data that can possibly be gathered up about them. The claims will be for better ads and better experiences, but the reality will be something quite different.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The core features of Leo aren’t too dissimilar from other AI chatbots like Bing Chat and Google Bard: it can translate, answer questions, summarize webpages, and generate new content.

    Brave says the benefits of Leo over those offerings are that it aligns with the company’s focus on privacy — conversations with the chatbot are not recorded or used to train AI models, and no login information is required to use it.

    As with other AI chatbots, however, Brave claims Leo’s outputs should be “treated with care for potential inaccuracies or errors.”

    For users who prefer to access a different AI language model, Brave is also introducing Leo Premium, a $15 monthly subscription that features Anthropic’s AI assistant, Claude Instant — a faster and cheaper version of Anthropic’s Claude 2 large language model.

    “AI can be a powerful tool but it can also present growing concerns for data privacy and there’s a need for a privacy-first solution,” said Brian Bondy, CTO and co-founder of Brave, in a press release.

    We have reached out to Brave to clarify when these additional benefits are expected to arrive and will update this story should we hear back.

    What else to use on iPhone/IOS alternatives browser to avoid (block) YouTube ads?

    Currently using Brave browser as it is one of the few that block ads and has the highly quality video (1080P-2160P).

    But with all the mess that’s going on, I want to get away from it.
