I'm a latecomer to the AI game but so far, I've found Grok and Perplexity to be the most useful overall. Grok's LLM is advancing exceptionally fast, but Perplexity's formatting is a lot better to my eyes and the way it sources its results is so much more useful. At the moment, Grok is probably my most-used AI, but I use Copilot for general queries (mostly tech-related), Perplexity for anything I need deeper research on, and then I fall back on ChatGPT for anything miscellaneous. That said, I use Brave's Leo for quick page summaries. I also use Venice in the same way I use ChatGPT, but for queries that are slightly less "public friendly". I'm also aiming to test out Proton's Lumo in the near future but when I first tried it, it seemed like it had a little way to go before. Eventually, once my home lab is set up the way I want it to be, I also plan to experiment with self-hosting my own LLMs because that'd definitely be ideal for privacy purposes, but I'm comfortable using the online options for now for generic queries that aren't really private. #ai #artificialintelligence

TL;DR - What signing apps could you recommend for Android and desktop? Thanks to the UK Online Safety Act and the recent attacks on privacy & free speech, I'm aiming to get back to using Nostr a bit more. However, I want to try using a signing app instead of just entering my nsec into everything. I can't seem to figure out a good, trustworthy signer for Android and as for desktop, I've just been using Flamingo for the time being but it seems like it isn't quite as secure as it could be. So I'm curious: what signing apps would you recommend for Android and desktop? I need to be able to trust the app I use for signing, so just randomly trying things out definitely won't work. #askNostr #security

Something tells me that decentralized social systems like Nostr and the Fediverse are going to be absolutely crucial in the coming days. #privacy #socialmedia #nostr #uk
