  • I am opposite to this.

    Present day Google IS chrome and as much as i am disgusted by them and want them broken up forcing a sale of chrome does not make sense and could actually spiral into the collapse of the company. (Don’t threaten me with a good time)

    All internet platforms want a… well platform to have users on. An interface/environment that in its most profitable form can be plastered with ads.

    For the google of old this used to be its search engine website.

    But it sucks now, the web has kept growing and most people only need a different tiny fraction of it.

    Yes its dominant, but its getting increasingly bad and will get increasingly useless as we start using smarter ai to filter (not re-generate) the web to our needs.

    This is why openai wants to buy chrome, they want to replace all that google was with themselves.

    Google also have their workspace platforms but there are no standalone apps. They are inherently designed for in browser use.

    All of this means it makes a lot of sense they have a clear incentive to want to control the browser. Because its the frame that contains almost everything they do.

    Compare that with microsoft, who owns the majority of operating systems, the entire office platform, and is also still competing with a search engine. And they still get to integrate edge like a glue no one asked for?

    Burn both these corpos but the logic applied here makes no sense.

    I am purposely ignoring all the other projects, robotics, Because honestly half of them never get to product and they don’t really effect the identity of theirs business as much.

    If anything it would make more to sell these other projects like autonomous cars, you know they are just going to try take over taxi services first and delivery services second if they get to keep that.

    Our grandparents earned enough as single earners to provide for their entire family and own a house.

    Now 2 people work and they can barely pay rent on an apartment.

    Its not hard to see why the right cries about the good old times, except somehow its the gays, and not the bourgeoisie that they believe are what caused the decline.



  • I never started “beneficial”

    Its entirely possible that ai agents build, regardless of whose interest, keep running after their original owner dies.

    If the job is “become an industrialist, expand and drop % of all profits on this bank account” and its actually competent it could lead to industry itself being more and more monopolized by fewer and fewer ai.

    That would halt the status quo where many human agents create companies for different reasons and industry is an ethical melting pot. Thats what i meant.

    Till that point in time the morality of ai businessmen is not different in effect then a human businessmen. Once that point. This morality shifts into either extinction or thrive for humankind.

    That is mostly but not entirely true, Firefox has a few variants of its own, alternatives do exist.

    I did some research into the topic not long ago, you basically want to choose an engine and from that a browser

    Gecko basd (Firefox)

    • librewolf
    • gnu icecat
    • tor browser
    • mullvad
    • zen browser

    Goanna based (Fork of Gecko)

    • Pale moon
    • Basilisk

    Servo based (very early in development/not for daily use)

    • servo browser
    • verso browser
    • flow browser

    Ladybird: fully independent engine and browser


  • In concept art art education they call this particular thing “incest”

    The example is using Skyrim weapon designs as the base reference to make your own fantasy weapon design. Over time each generation strays further from reality.

    However with ai where training data consist of huge sets of everything, to mich to filter manually there is a great benefit to be gained by using a small ai to do this filtering for you.

    In my previous example, this would be an ai that looks at all the stolen images and simply yes/no if they are a real photo for reference or a subjective interpretation. Some might get labeled wrong but overall it will be better then a human at this.

    The real danger is when its goes beyond “filtering this training set for x and y” into “build a training set with self sourced data” cause then it might wrongly decide that to create fantasy weapons one should reference other fantasy weapons and not train any real weapons.

    Currently some are already walking a grey line in between. They generate new stuff using ai to fit a request. Then use ai to filter for only the best and train on that. This strategy appears to be paying off… for now.
