Thus the “for now”

Hell no. For now just gonna switch to some firefox fork that won’t include the AI.

Programs are like socks, once they get dirty, you change them. Do these people really not understand how this stuff works? Even giants can fall when enough people switch to other options

It can make it harder to estimate the age of a person (I say as a person that also struggles with faces). But yeah most people don’t do those estimations based on face only, especially if you’re faceblind. I don’t know anything about Brad Pitt though so no comment on that lmao

Yeah, they don’t seem to have done anything outrageous, I haven’t heard anything and quick search didn’t bring up any results. Working in Russia isn’t alarming for a finnish company, unless they’d have continued. The most worrying thing is that AI stuff in my opinion, but they’re kinda just following the expected trend for any company right now, so that isn’t very alarming either (as long as they keep it away from the phone stuff). All in all just a pretty basic finnish company.

They were a great people but they were great because their excess was built on the subjugation of nations and enslaving entire people in order to get what they wanted.

Not only on that though, they were great at adopting what was working the best in those subjugated nations, and whatever trade bought to them; not only practical things, but cultural and religious things as well. Just subjugating people doesn’t do much unless you use whatever they have and actually somehow include them in your empire instead - you just can’t hold an empire of that size together by simply trying to genocide all the different people.

Even slavery back then wasn’t necessarily a forever thing, it was more of a circumstance. People regularly freed their well-served slaves, and those freed slaves could attain citizenship and all that. This doesn’t make slavery good mind you, it’s just that it was unlike the slavery in USA which deemed you and your future children all slaves forever, which is the type of slavery people these days think of when talking about the subject.

Now notice how much all this goes against what nazis and magas seem to want; adapting other cultures and their inventions, allowing citizenship to people from different places, freeing slaves and including them too into your nation… These racist, white-supremacist idiots know jackshit about history and understand nothing about why Rome was able to stay in power for so long.
