<p>Does it?<p>What if a company decides that their preferred browser is Firefox. Can you use this feature to only enable logins from Firefox? Or is it only for Chrome?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure Firefox is configurable using AD. So is automatically updating (not sure about freezing versions).<p>If you don't want your user to run whatever version with whatever extension you can do that.</p>

<p>Some additional points to consider:<p>1. Pay the workers in company scrip and relocate the workers to a company town. That way, all workers are fully dedicated to the company.<p>2. Start importing slaves from Africa again. It worked to build up massive wealth. Should do the trick for AI as well.<p>3. Abolish the 8 hour work day. No comment needed.<p>With these 3 simple tricks, you too can get 6-7 bazillion euro AI mammoths.</p>

<p>Technologically yes, but this is a vast oversimplification.<p>You need lots of money to be able to buy the tech you need to do so. And you can't exactly earn that from not using the tech, since foreign (or even local) competition will slaughter you on prices. And if you do make it, you're stuck with a low-margin race to the bottom on price.</p>

<p>This is kind of funny, but very much expected.<p>The interface into the LLM is tokens in and out (text, images, audio). And the harness generally doesn't understand what you're passing in. The LLM has nothing to do other than to respond with tokens and empty responses (eg. just a stop token) have been aggressively trained out of it.</p>

<p>Have you considered these people in general aren't some outsiders out to attack you or your favorite language?<p>The people who do end up making and using type checkers are people who have or are actively using these dynamic languages and found out that they CAN help THEM with preventing bugs.<p>Also, really? 22 years in which not one type-related error happened? Never? I don't want to say I don't believe you, but I really don't.</p>

<p>Its funny, I've noticed the same thing, but did not come to the same conclusion.<p>I currently don't have work access to Claude Code, but most of my teammates do. Watching from the outside, the cycle seems to look like this:<p>1. Experience some success, which hooks you into relying on AI.<p>2. The AI keeps failing at some task, but you don't want to stop. Keep trying over and over again.<p>3. Run out of tokens and take a break.<p>Now, sometimes 1 doesn't happen. Sometimes 2 doesn't happen. 3 is a certainty though.<p>Now, if you told me that the productivity gain from 1 is enough to offset the loss from 2 and 3, I could believe you. But I also wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.</p>
