I'm bought in. Whatever Firefox is doing is better than Chrome in every way. The VPN feature is useless though. I can't get any website that I actually care about to work with it turned on. Same with the email and phone number masks (Mozilla features not Firefox specific). Can't use any Mozilla email/phone mask to work with 90% of the services I use. Amazing ideas in theory, but in practice they're mostly useless.

Anyone have the leaked docs?

The crazy thing is, this isn't really a "squeeze" in the traditional sense. The problem was that every single mainstream AI product has been heavily subsidized....because it's wildly expensive and not even close to being profitable.

That sort of subsidization was only going to last for so long. The dam is starting to crack. People aren't ready to pay what AI truly costs.

I agree, the US still has international exposure and will feel impacts from it. I mostly had issue with the claims that the US isn't planting enough in 2026 and will have to cull livestock because of it. It's just not true. Most of the planting has been done and is being fertilized with supply that was secured before the shock. 2027 will likely be the tougher year, but it still won't be because the US can't plant anything.

The US produces most of its fertilizer locally, and most of the fertilizer it does import comes from Canada.

"No crops being planted" is just wrong: https://www.dtnpf.com/agriculture/web/ag/news/article/2026/05/11/crop-progress-corn-57-planted-49-28

They probably don't sell mythos because they can't afford to do so at the same, heavily subsidized cost. They're already burning more money than they generate, and the only way the continue to have cash at all is from fund raising. Selling AI is massively unprofitable. Mythos surely consumes even more resources than Opus, and they probably see that it'll make them go broke even faster than their current trajectory will.

I've had some coworkers stick to their guns when faced with undeniable proof that their takes are incorrect. Their egos get in the way of doing the job. That's when I lose respect for them and just quote the AI instead of trying to fight their egos.

Not even one mention about the 2016 primary and how sabotaging Bernie led to Trump winning. No mention of Biden/Harris ignoring progressives and sticking to the status quo. No introspection whatsoever.

This party is so cooked.

The cynic in me says there's no way this passes and gets signed...right?

I agree, but clearly they're either unphased by the blame (e.g. for 2016 and 2024) or they're in denial about it. Personally I don't think they give a shit. They won't be held accountable by anyone but their billionaire donors.

Used plex years ago. It was fine. Got back into self hosting recently and stumbled upon jellyfin. It's been fine too. Glad I'm not on plex now!
