And it is currently working on an AI tool that takes over your browser, essentially building an AI user.

Prefect. It can click buttons and complete tasks.

No sir, I did not accept your terms and conditions, my browser did.

i guess it’s just puppeteer + ai prompting

unless AI gets significantly better in the next year or so I doubt it’s gonna be any better than someone spending an hour writing a puppeteer scraping script

This whole AI thing is starting to feel less like focused research and more like Free Jazz jam night at the local dive.

It could be used for amazing things, but it’s currently in that phase where it’s a rapid frenzy to make anything, regardless of moral and ethical implications, just to cash in before it inevitably gets monopolised.

Thank fuck I use Linux as a daily driver. I won’t touch this AI infested bullshit that windows and Google are becoming. This is just an IT security nightmare.

Yeah, but they encourage confining it to a virtual machine with limited access.

Cool cool cool cool.

Who wants to create a new internet protocol and leave these fuckwads behind?

Google doesn’t have the leverage to get it into your OS against your wishes. They can’t even make me have their apps (search, assistant) on their Android.

Companies are stealing your computer’s resources (hard disk space, CPU time) to build their own Skynet and charging you for the privilege.

These GAFAM/BigTech corporations really are in a tough and fierce competition of which one is the shittiest and most privacy-invading don’t they. Ensittification overdrive mode in all of them.

And enshittification begun as early as when Windows 10 released (it probably started a little earlier from that), where Micro$oft justified that spying all your activity is normal thing

How do they not get people don’t fucking want this. It’s like they’re in a race to see who cand develop the shittiest product.

They’re not ultimately making it for people to use. They’re creating a playground for AI to work and learn in, thereby letting their AI access human behavior data that other companies don’t yet have.

Basically it’s a ploy to get a novel set of proprietary data in hopes that their AI gets smarter than the competition.

They will implement it, they are just trying different methods until one sticks.
