Don't say AI when you mean AGI.

By definition AI (artificial intelligence) is any algorithm by which a computer system automatically adapts to and learns from its input. That definition also covers conventional algorithms that aren't even based on neural nets. Machine learning is a subset of that.

AGI (artifical general intelligence) is the thing you see in movies, people project into their LLM responses and what's driving this bubble. It is the final goal, and means a system being able to perform everything a human can on at least human level. Pretty much all the actual experts agree we're a far shot from such a system.

Firefox needs to work on ensuring seamless compatibility with more websites, web apps and so on

Care to share some examples Firefox has trouble with? The only issues I have with websites is due to my aggressive use of Noscript.

Millennials grew up alongside modern computing (meaning the two matured together). We dealt with everything from BASIC on a C64 to DOS and then through Windows 3 through current. We also grew up alongside Linux

Only the oldest millenials did. When the youngest were born, the internet and Windows 95 were readily available and they were in middle school when the iPhone came out.

My farts in a sealed bucket are extremely limited and yet I haven't found a single buyer.

4% of gross revenue is not a negligible amount. For no company.

How people will accept having their entire lives scanned, categorised and sold off to the highest bidder is beyond me

Me too. It was painfully obvious what Google will do once they launched Gmail and I never used it because of that.

"qt3.14" seems pretty authentic though.

Well, once the AI hype calms down and people realize the current approach won't lead to actual intelligence or "The Singularity", there may be quite some nuclear plants left over. That or they will be used to mine shitcoins.

And who forces all the corps to correctly implement that protocol? Getting you locked in is in all of their interests, after all.

Sure, but the networking and consent-finding are defining features of a blockchain. Nobody calls a git repo a blockchain.
