Forcing Chrome to be trashed would be one of the best things to happen to the internet. Google's ludicrous monopoly leading to the entire ad industry powering the majority of the internet breaking down because Google just vibes that AI overview is cool bro gets broken in two, and as a bonus the ignorant like you are forced to discover there's vastly better browsers out there than fucking Chrome. Everyone except the trillion dollar worthless shitholes win, even if it makes some vaguely uncomfortable for 10 minutes in doing so.

Why does the model have all those "skills" needed to hack other sites? I mean you have to allow the model open internet access and at least the ability to GET/POST/PUT. I feel this is some of the same kind of thinking that gets someone's repo deleted, because they gave an agent too much access and no good way to monitor what is going on.

Depends. Current leading LLM technologies are super bloated and inefficient. When 2028 arrives the resource requirements for a natural language user interface bot may be a lot less. The software side requirements can certainly be finalized a few months before launch. On the other hand, hardware designs have a long lead time and must be locked in much sooner. On the other hand, data can be shipped to a beefy server and processed in the cloud, so the hardware doesn't really need a lot of resources.

No, it is not. Elon Musk isn't even capable of concern, only hate and avarice. Also, the most abhorrent social media in the world? Controlled by Elon Musk.

Having lost a spouse to a (much shorter) battle with cancer, I feel bad for his family.

That said, there is no way to operate that kind of business at that scale ethically. No matter what safeguards you put in place, there will be CSAM that makes it through, or material made with adult trafficking victims, which he profited from. I don't know how one can rationalize that.

Someone already beat them making the "new 'box".
Those execs are really earning their tremendous salaries with these innovative ideas.

AI companies make trillions while people still live in slums. AI companies should be required to use AI to mass manufacture houses to finally solve the global housing crisis.

I don't understand how decreasing import to the USA has increased buying in Europe. Was there a shortage and more was going to the US? Did they reduce prices in Europe? The article says "redirected a tsunami of cheap stuff into Europe", so I don't quite understand how the tariff in the US has increased buying in Europe.
