  • I am opposite to this.

    Present day Google IS chrome and as much as i am disgusted by them and want them broken up forcing a sale of chrome does not make sense and could actually spiral into the collapse of the company. (Don’t threaten me with a good time)

    All internet platforms want a… well platform to have users on. An interface/environment that in its most profitable form can be plastered with ads.

    For the google of old this used to be its search engine website.

    But it sucks now, the web has kept growing and most people only need a different tiny fraction of it.

    Yes its dominant, but its getting increasingly bad and will get increasingly useless as we start using smarter ai to filter (not re-generate) the web to our needs.

    This is why openai wants to buy chrome, they want to replace all that google was with themselves.

    Google also have their workspace platforms but there are no standalone apps. They are inherently designed for in browser use.

    All of this means it makes a lot of sense they have a clear incentive to want to control the browser. Because its the frame that contains almost everything they do.

    Compare that with microsoft, who owns the majority of operating systems, the entire office platform, and is also still competing with a search engine. And they still get to integrate edge like a glue no one asked for?

    Burn both these corpos but the logic applied here makes no sense.

    I am purposely ignoring all the other projects, robotics, Because honestly half of them never get to product and they don’t really effect the identity of theirs business as much.

    If anything it would make more to sell these other projects like autonomous cars, you know they are just going to try take over taxi services first and delivery services second if they get to keep that.


  • I never started “beneficial”

    Its entirely possible that ai agents build, regardless of whose interest, keep running after their original owner dies.

    If the job is “become an industrialist, expand and drop % of all profits on this bank account” and its actually competent it could lead to industry itself being more and more monopolized by fewer and fewer ai.

    That would halt the status quo where many human agents create companies for different reasons and industry is an ethical melting pot. Thats what i meant.

    Till that point in time the morality of ai businessmen is not different in effect then a human businessmen. Once that point. This morality shifts into either extinction or thrive for humankind.



  • Both are true.

    The first ai companies will be prompted by Humans.

    A vast majority will be for profit. People want the ai to do the hard company work and collect the profit in their sleep as “owner” of the ai agent.

    A good few people will do exactly the same but request non profit style and ethical focus.

    Till we get to a mythical stage of agi that can actually decide globally if it thinks a company should exist or not and what purpose it should have, this is more or less same as the status quo.










  • For new users the main question is not what operating system but what window manager as that is what shapes day to day user interaction. KDE plasma is a solid choice.

    Installing it on a separate drive should be no problem. Just select the correct drive during install.

    I use F10 to get to the boot menu on drive and select the drive it needs to boot from there. I have used it once in the last year and although it required many updates its still working.


  • Most of these things have a free tier. I would be hardly suprised if roblox doesn’t.

    As someone who does know a lot about the industry i simply cannot recommend roblox. However i can recommend the following:

    Make an account tougher with your daughter and let her play in the living room, streamed to the tv if you can and let her guide you trough what this game is and what she finds fun about it.

    Bonding aside there is a good chance that the free tier is all she needed and the real fun is connecting multiplayer with her real life friends.

    Sooner or later you will face some examples of the traps and dangers, but those are generally the same ones that exist everywhere online, at which point you can let your daughter explain the supposed purpose of em while directly complimenting it with your parental insight. This helps you set and explain boundaries in relation to the game and helps build resilience to the inherent risks of the digital age.
