Comment on: Google fixed more Chrome bugs in June than over the past two years, thanks to AI

My fear is that on average all software will get worse and be less optimized. There will still be high quality products at a high cost with high touch humans shepherding development, but I think there will also be a bunch of 'good enough' slop for everyday functional tasks where there exists neither the talent nor the budget to create truly wonderful solution.Fast foot didn't kill fine dining, but it is killing us..

The biggest bug still has not been fixed here, which is:Google.We really need an alternative to this greedy and evil corporations de-facto controlling a huge portion of the modern www stack. All decision-making processes are here subjugated to what fits Google's adEmpire. This is a perpetual system of control amplifying abusive systems in place.

Comment on: DuckDuckGo search saw 28% more visits after Google said people love AI mode

The AI product rollouts in the last two years have been some of the most aggressive and user hostile product rollouts in my entire life.All conventions and user centricity go out the window with AI feature launches lately. If you look at examples from the last week it’s stuff like posthogs opt-out training, Copilot training, or Google’s antigravity chat-app switch.I’ve had the worst customer experiences of my life in the last few months.My health insurance company decided calling support meant I consented to them saving my voice for model training. They said you can opt-out online, but that op
