Dare ObasanjoAs expected, the official narrative is slowly becoming that AI ethics is why Google fell behind OpenAI and Bing.
This is a much more appealing narrative than the company wanted to protect ad revenue and got too slow & bureaucratic to ship software.

Susan Wojcicki is stepping down from running YouTube to focus on her health, family and personal projects.
A massive loss for Google as YouTube has been a rare social media win and she has the chops and credibility to be a Sundar replacement.

Brian MerchantThe big tech layoffs aren't about "economic realities" or simply streamlining operations—Silicon Valley is moving to slash rising wages and bring an increasingly empowered workforce to heel.

Emily StarkNew blog post: The death of the line of death
The "line of death" is a security boundary in web browsers about separating trustworthy browser UI from untrusted web content; I think the concept is waning in utility over time.

The death of the line of death
The line of death, as Eric Lawrence explained in a classic blog post, is the idea that an application should separate trustworthy UI from untrusted content. The typical example is in a web browser, where untrustworthy web content appears below the browser toolbar UI. Trustworthy content provided by the web browser must appear either in the browser toolbar, or anchored to it or overlapping it. If this separation is maintained, then untrusted content can’t spoof the trustworthy browser UI to trick or attack the user.
