We are on exactly the same page. I wonder if anyone is working on something like this? It would be incredibly meaningful work, I think.
I am actually. Let's further discuss: send me an email at this temporary address cdvcrg8zu@mozmail.com to keep in touch.
So openAI's answer to Perplexity's Comet. I'm afraid this will be the future, as these AI-browsers do truly bring value. But they open up the gate for a single Big Tech Winner that truly knows everything about you, and can even control everything on your behalf. I really hope open-source Browsers like Firefox follow up soon with better alternatives, like on-device LLMs to counteract the "all in the cloud" LLM approac…
What value? I haven't used them myself, but from reviews I've seen on Youtube they appear to be flaky and not all that useful. It reminds me of when voice assistants like Siri came out, and it turned out that the only thing they were good for was setting timers, controlling music playback, and gimmicky stuff like that.
The closest one came to handling controlling music playback well in anyway was Cortana but even Cortana didn’t do the things that I needed to do with my voice while controlling music play.
The biggest Used case for me was always hey Cortana hey Siri add a specific song to now playing and play it next. No matter what on any operating system. The voice assistant delete the entire queue and then probably plays the wrong song. Not only will they play the wrong song, but they will play the entire album from the wrong song if it is available so now I’ve gone from a playlist that I was building and listening to on loop for potentially days to some album that I don’t wanna listen to because it could not just add a song next.

google is gonna wait for them to burn every cent of that 500 billion dollars and then when no more investors are interested in funding open AI, the entire AI bubble ll collapse. Why? because the LLMs have already hit their limits. There aint no AGI coming as GPT 6. You can tell because suddenly company focus has shifted to making browsers
> LLMs have already hit their limits This is the most profoundly idiotic sentiment to ever come out of the AI discourse. Not only has it been sung for so long that it's been proven wrong mutliple times now, it also pulls the strawman of the century because NO ONE working in frontier AI labs is pushing the narrative that "we don't need anything to change to reach AGI". You can stick your head in the sand all you want,…
Man the hubris of folks like you - its going to be epic when things inevitably fall apart at the seams.

Evan an AGI is going to require basic ways like having access to a browser in order to get things done
If it was real AGI you'd just give it a screen recording, and mouse and keyboard input. Then it could use literally any existing app on the computer.
Like, how do you get your human assistant to book you a flight? They have a corporate credit card with limits on it where they can't spend on just anything. I'm guessing it would be the same thing. You'd need to implement safeguards so the agent can't screw up

Oh good, now that I can have an AI read HN and shitpost for me, I don't even have to do that anymore. Is there any joy left in life?
As a sales engineer, when I'm not pushing random PRs for random demos or infra I'm building, I'm searching for people on LinkedIn in hopes of getting introductions. I tested a really basic LinkedIn search on myself. Atlas confidently failed successfully [0]; Kagi [1] and Google [2] nailed it. This is a perfect example as to why I don't think LLMs should replace search engines any time soon. Search engines help you fi…
I disagree. With chatgpt I don't search, I ask. Chatgpt explains, I ask again, and refine and refine. Ask back for sources, etc. When in doubt, I copy/paste a statement and I search for it with Google. And then Google LLM kicks in. If it's consistent with chatgpt, I am still wanting to see the links/sources. If not, I notify chatgpt of the "wrong" information, and move on. 70-80% of search is dead. But of course sear…
It can tell you things, but those things are abstract in nature - aggregated across it's training data.
Thats the opposite of what we want search to do. Search is about finding a needle in a haystack. Not about telling me what the needle probably looks like based off the characteristics of needles.

I add "Terse, no commentary" to a request, which it will obey, but then immediately return to yammering in a follow-up message. However, this is in Incognito; maybe there's a setting when logged in.
With GPT5 there is a persona (I think, I forget what the call it) setting, I chose "Robot" and that shut it up pretty well.
How is this different than Gemini in Chrome? https://gemini.google/overview/gemini-in-chrome/ Asking out of curiosity since it's not clear to me what's new here.
The big difference is there's an agent mode. I learned this by asking ChatGPT.

At some point, Europe will learn that if they keep preventing international solutions without creating a climate in which similar or better local solutions can emerge, they are cutting their own nose to spite the face. There are secondary and tertiary effects of this, and eventually the 'huge market' will shrink in importance. I mean, Brazil is a huge market, and no-one cares about them thanks to brain-dead legislati…
No one cares about it because you get robbed on gunpoint at the stoplights. Again no one in Europe cares about some Gemini because frankly no one even knows what it is. They had their run with the black founding fathers and most people who tried it then dismissed it forever. For normal people ChatGPT = AI.
