I have a friend that I've been friends with since high school. I like my friend, but he's drinking the AI Kool-Aid.
We went to dinner last January and I told him I didn't want to talk about AI as I hate Generative AI. It's been a year so I guess he's decided he waited long enough.
I use Linux. Because Linus Torvalds used AI to vibe code something recently, my friend has taken that as an opening to talk to me about AI again.
This guy is an American (I think) who lives in Moscow, and speaks fluent Russian.
He either can't speak openly, or this is what it sounds like after drinking two country's worth of Kool Aid.

Also, if the phrase "AI-first" comes out of your executive pie-hole, you've already lost. You drank the Kool-Aid and there's very little hope you'll ever decide to put the users' wants over the advertisers/AI-bundlers/swindlers/what-have-you. [1]
And since the guy they announced as CEO has already been the head of browser for a while now, it's clear when he says "AI-first", he really means it.
I'm torn between Vivaldi, or putting up with Firefox (on a *very* short leash) long enough for Servo to become a usable browser.
[1] Another way to say "AI first" is "users second" [2] .
[2] If at all.
