Kinder, the Brookings fellow, said she worries that companies soon will simply eliminate the entire bottom rung of the career ladder.

What the fuck do they think is gonna happen when the current seniors start to retire? Are they just betting that AI is gonna be good enough to replace all of them then?

Cue all these companies in 5-20 years' time having to completely rewrite their software stacks because they have no fucking clue how any of it works anymore.

There's a starving furry artist out there who would jump at the chance to take your commission.

The article is full of typos, too.

Who let this dreck out the door? Did Forbes lay off all their editors or what?

It's still using the Blink engine, so it only provides an illusion of competition just like all other Chromium-based browsers.

If the web becomes nothing but Chromium, then Google can dictate web standards as they see fit.

And don't count on Apple to save you, either. WebKit's monopoly over browsing on iOS is slowly being eroded by anti-trust rulings. The first browser most people will install when they have a choice is Google Chrome.

Ditching Firefox entirely because of a few missteps by Mozilla is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

That's what I figured after thinking about it, that there had to be some procedural reason for it.

Which, funnily enough, would also qualify the murders as first-degree under Minnesota state law: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185

The suspect faces several charges of second-degree murder.

This baffles me. Looking up your fucking victim's addresses isn't enough evidence of premeditation to qualify for first-degree charges?

And ofc the original paper is paywalled.

It's probably just regurgitating stuff from a paper from 2017 that no one paid attention to.

Which has value in itself, I guess. It's just intellectually dishonest to say the AI came up with the solution.

As someone with a lot of web backend engineering experience, this had me yelling at the screen at a few points, but really cool nonetheless.
