If Anthropic don’t know you write shit code and want to tear down their entire world, what the fuck are you playing at?

The comic sans really lends an air of solemnity to the whole thing.

Yeah, we know. We just can’t believe that you actually use it for anything important.

I switched to Chrome back then because it ran tabs in separate processes. A tab crashing in Firefox would take the whole browser down.

The final straw for me was the plugins. Flash, Java, Acrobat, etc. Chrome kept them up to date for you. Firefox made you just through hoops, which eventually lead to a rogue site injecting crap onto my machine which took me a day to clean up. Plugins are pretty much dead now, but back then you needed them for half the web to work.

Chrome really was a great browser back then (and MS were still in the “what’s wrong with Internet Explorer?” era), and it’s a shame that they’re now working so hard to fuck it up again.

Firefox users right now:

If that don’t wanna make you die for your country, nothing will.

Chinese companies are not investing in very expensive RAM fabrication plants in order to sell it on the cheap…

We’ll I hope you at least reminded him of his obligations to the Epstein Island class.

Going to court to prove they’re arseholes. Nice.

If you want to stop it, write to your representatives. EULAs do not override local laws.

This is a Trump administration. It’s basically a requirement of the job.

AS A CONSUMER YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LOCAL LAWS THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, LIMITED OR CHANGED. THOSE RIGHTS TAKE PRIORITY OVER ANYTHING IN THESE TERMS.

So they’re saying we should write to our law making representatives and have that changed?

Sounds like a fucking great idea to me.

I don’t trust the AI, I just can’t be bothered to argue. At the end of the day it’s no longer my code, so I feel no guilt about pushing in slop.

Maybe, but I don’t think the Saudi rulers are lead particularly by belief. That’s just some physical world nonsense to keep the plebs in check.

What leads them is money, and the fear that all that oil money they’ve relied on for the last 100 years or so is going to run out at some point.

That’s why games like It Takes Two and Mass Effect will be culled. That’s why it’ll be wall-to-wall live-service war-slop and sports-slop until the day everyone with even a hint of creativity quits, and then it carries on anyway in a shambling AI form. And people will still lap it up.

Some other Chrome based browser probably updated…

It is, but in fairness all the sites doing SEO broke it just as much as their infinite chase for advertiser money.

And now AI is here to break it even further.

I remember Google coming out and changing everything.

It had billions of pages instead of millions.

It returned results in seconds, and by seconds I mean 2-3, not 60.

Everything else became irrelevant overnight.

Few things made me feel more depressed that seeing cars backed up for what must have been an hour long queue trying to get McDonald’s at the drive through, since that’s the only bit that was open.

I don’t really want to wait an hour for good food, let alone some hyper processed slop.

If anything that just makes the decision to stop eating it even easier.

I just say yes to everything anyway. Not my money, not my choice to use it, not my responsibility. You give me a machine gun, I ain’t firing single rounds.
