The money from Google was surely what killed their browser. I'm not saying there was a behind the scenes deal. They just got lazy and spent Google's money in stupid ways instead of improving their product so that they could gain a real userbase.
Imagine if they spent that money towards just the browser (not possible, but imagine anyways), we could be in a very different place where Chrome doesn't have 99% (or whatever it is) market share.
Firefox is a good browser, but where could they have been today if it was prioritised over paying the CEO millions for nothing? They have recently been sorta catching up, i've seen a lot of updates that actually include features I use, but I think it's too late.
Time for one of the new built from the ground up browsers to shine when complete. I still stand by Firefox and recommend it, but as soon as their is an open competitor that is production ready, I'm outta here.
They have undoubtly done amazing things for the web, but their idiocy is astounding sometimes and I don't wanna stay on a sinking ship. I'd rather use a new browser that helps keep the web secure, safe a pleasant for us all without annoyances or dumb beurocracy.
It's funny seeing the sudden surge of "copyright is awesome!" On the Internet now that it's become a useful talking point to bludgeon the hated Abominable Intelligence with.
Have any actual court cases established that Gemini is violating copyright, BTW? The major cases I've seen so far have been coming down on the "training AI is fair use" side of things, any copyright issues have largely been ancillary to that.
Why is this being downvoted so heavily?
Probably because their angle is to find opportunities to push an AI positive agenda whether copyright is involved or not.
I don't see anything there that indicates an AI positive agenda. What am I missing?
Go take a look at their comments on their profile. Lot of AI talk there.
I'm guessing people aren't pro copyright, but its their argument in conjunction with AI that has led to the downvotes.
🤦♂️ Thanks
Copyright can be used to in a good way. Unfortunately, its mostly used by big corporations as a battering ram to extract as much money as possible from smaller businesses and even just individuals
