This is a bit of an overstatement. Brave has competent software developers - they created their Rust-based content blocker, and kept it as open-source. It’s one of the most powerful blocking mechanisms, often working in places where even the rightfully praised uBlock Origin doesn’t (good examples are in YouTube itself last year when they’ve made a big attempt to stop adblocking by changing the underlying mechanism of how ads are being served in videos).

They were perfectly capable of developing advanced software before AI coding agents were a thing. They’re skilled and delivering.

You can’t earn so much money just to expect the responsibility won’t catch up with you. This one is a social responsibility for the impact caused.

If he wanted a low profile, no risk job, he could always opt to not become an executive in the first place.

AI is an effective tool if used correctly. It doesn’t replace thinking, so handle it with care.

Nobody sane would keep bashing a table with a hammer expecting different results than the table breaking under pressure at some point.

Reddit, really? Many of the people in there are generally unreliable at the least.

I doubt they did - they only speak up for the fictional customer, meanwhile silently complying to whatever government requests user data from them.

They’ll say anything just to distract their users away from them being caught red handed in the act of giving away their data to the governments all around the world.

Classic business marketing.

I’d personally like to see a LotR in KCD2 format, maybe centred around Rohan or Dale.

I hope they go in depth with side questing and gameplay loops, rather than focusing on the main story. Kind of how Skyrim was a sidetracking paradise.

Don’t you think it’s a bit over the top representation of the MLs? They’re way more cohesive than that, and there’s no Stalin in the “Marxist-Leninist”.

It’s not about universal hate towards a particular nation - more about the idea how our current society is becoming progressively more unbearable by denying life basics to the common folk. Things like “earning a living wage” implies that below a certain threshold we don’t deserve to live. Real estate developers scalping the housing, making it unaffordable. All while a few hundred people owns a huge portion of wealth, constantly growing it and meddling into politics.

Other things like the reality of not actually being able to vote things away once totalitarian parties takeover a country’s legal systems using democratic means.

There’s plenty of that going as to why many like Karl Marx as a literary inspiration.

One thing I’m curious about is if the vulnerability also affects prior chips (M1-M4), or if it’s an exclusive to the new M5 with split CPU & GPU.

Besides that, I hope they patch it without compromises to performance.
