But I am not just taking about factual information. You still don't get it. I was just using that example to show if you take out key components of what makes something what is it, it is no longer the same thing. I am saying the an int

Not sure what you are claiming here: That authentically human communication and experiences can be artificially generated? But that is a contradiction in terms. The outcome is not independent of the process. It will always show through.

Wow, it's not "human-level BS" what the heck. Only someone with little appreciation of music will describe the difference between an actual performance and an AI generated one as "human-level BS". It makes a large d

AI is unlikely to ever create great works of art because art is not, and has never been just about technical excellence; it is fundamentally a human thing: one human communicating to another. Just even knowing that some art was AI produced

I don't get this reasoning, and yet it is pervasive. Just because non-engineering people come up to you with apps they have created does not mean AI has or will replace software engineers. Consider: - I can read about my symptoms from

Mobile is different. I rarely even use mobile. I do however use a lot of tabs on desktop, and Firefox is found very wanting in the performance department. I don't even think its about number of tabs. Just yesterday and today, Mullvad

This does not make sense. Firefox would be taking minutes to open a page that Chrome opens within a second or two. And if Chrome was doing aggressive pre-fetching, then it should be using more memory, no? And yet the opposite is the case.

I really don't think so. Firefox performance is really that bad. I sadly had to stop using it.

Firefox and Firefox-derivative browsers have and continue to be seriously sluggish and memory and energy hogs. This should not be swept under the rug. Even today it is difficult for me to use Firefox, Mullvad, etc. When I used to use them,

Why do you have quite a number of glaring UX issues? I want to love Orion, but even something as basic as the tabs theming is driving me away. By default is it almost impossible to distinguish which tabs i active in some situations. I think

Indeed, they are probably one of the worst cloud "storage" services ever to exist. I also lost data on their platform. Not sure why anyone would like to still use them. This follows a pattern of Microsoft mishandling their user&#x
