One area where AI might be able to help Mozilla is refactoring their codebase to be something people can actual contribute to and work on. Of course the main problem is the lack of trust when it comes to AI not introducing security issues, so maybe they could start with building a really robust suite of tests and a vulnerability finding pipeline.

If they could make Firefox's code clean and easy to work with, others might adopt it for their own browsers like they did with Chromium, and it might get the attention it needs to keep up.

Have they identified any reason why people would actually want AI in the browser yet?

I could ask it to go shopping for me, but I wouldn't trust it to find good deals. I could ask for a page summary, but I wouldn't trust it to be accurate.

They can come to Europe, if they are nice.

China has been on a recruitment drive too.

I wouldn't mind a folding phone, if they were better priced and had good cameras. For some reason they seem the designs seem to be very questionable.

Take the Pixel Fold. It has the lesser Pixel cameras, not the high end Pro ones. Even those have lagged a bit in the last few years, but that's another story. It also has pointless cameras like the under screen ones. It's a foldable, you don't need a selfie camera, you can use the rear camera and front screen at the same time. Complete waste of money and puts a hole in the otherwise nice big screens.

If there was a built in hole how would they sell you a case for it?

Are people buying just from the photos, or is this is stop agents wasting people's time with viewings that are just an opportunity to try to talk them into it?

It protects sellers too, who are presented with lots of viewings so it looks like the agent is doing a good job for them, when most of them have been mislead and would never have come if they had known the truth.

He chose the creepiest image he could find, seemingly.

It's been working for many, many years now. I find it low maintenance.

As for limited content, there is more than is on streaming. Quality is the same or better.

Piracy is more convenient. I use the TV calendar site to track shows I'm interested in, and Greasemonkey to inject some Javascript that adds links directly to The Pirate Bay searches for each episode. After a few clicks I have a DRM free file that just works, and I can use Kodi rather than some crappy app that is little more than a wrapper around a broken website.

I wouldn't mind buying Bluray discs, except that they keep trying to stop me ripping them into a more convenient format. So I just buy other merch instead, or if it is streaming I might subscribe and run some streams on an old phone for something, just so they know I'm watching it. But only if I can cancel with one click.

Interesting question. GPL forces people to share their modifications, and disallows tivoization (using technical means to prevent running modified software). It's a contract, but I'm not sure you could force people to enter into it without copyright.

That's the deal with open source software. You either do the work yourself, or you accept whatever the people who are doing the work decide.

That's not the point. The idea is to stop little Timmy 3D printing a gun, or someone printing one in anger. At the very least, the delay while they figure out how to bypass the restrictions gives them time to think twice and calm down.

I'd say the bigger issue is likely to be false positives being a pain.

Wasn't that dam insured by the government, for the same reason that nuclear is?

Insurance absolutely is required for such a dangerous process.

I don't think any reasonable government would allow a private insurer to insure nuclear, because realistically none of them have enough money to pay out the potential liabilities.
