Because OpenAI is planning to release an AI-powered browser, what happens if it ends up using it as another way to collect information?
Blocking all Chromium browsers, I don’t think, is a good idea.

MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zipto Open Source@lemmy.ml•French City of Lyon Kicks Out MicrosoftEnglish2·4 days agoFreeBSD does have uses in industry, because large companies use it and receive donations, although not as many as the Linux Foundation.
The problem is that it doesn’t have as widespread support from various sources as Linux, let alone Windows, so installing FreeBSD on newer hardware can be difficult if you don’t have a technician to help you.
In addition, there isn’t enough native software, although that could be covered by using a compatibility layer with Linux and/or Wine. You could also use virtual machines. However, you may not need to do that if the software can run on the operating system without any problems despite not having official support.
But FreeBSD is very stable, has its own package, which is quite intuitive, and has a file system called ZFS and security.
Support is another issue, but this problem is shared by less popular and less widely used Linux distributions and other operating systems that aren’t widely used. Hiring someone to solve a problem that’s affecting you can be very expensive, and there are three options.
- You pay for expensive technical support
- You create a technical support team for that system
- You are the technical support team itself

MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zipto Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft axe another 9000 in continued AI pushEnglish1·6 days agoAnother factor is Section 174 and the hiring of H1B workers. Although Microsoft’s official AI website lists many job openings, you’re right that it’s changing its focus, it’s strange that they’re changing focus so quickly. First it was the metaverse, then video games, and now it’s AI. What’s next? Quantum computing in the coming years, and pouring tons of money into it as if there were no tomorrow.
It seems like tech companies are going through a midlife crisis, as are their shareholders, who want to be on the cutting edge and end up executing poorly. But they want to be on this trend because they don’t want to be in the same situation as Apple, which wasn’t on the cutting edge and its shareholders are suing it.
