Since February, the Firefox team has been working around the clock using frontier AI models to find and fix latent security vulnerabilities in the browser.
I get the issues with image generation and using text generation in scams etc. but as a professional coding tool (not just vibe coding slop) AI can be extremely helpful certain tasks, and this use case, where organizations just don’t have the resources to have a security expert pore through millions of lines of code for bugs, is a net positive.
I think this is a case of “don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater” we can absolutely still criticize the industry and specific companies for IP, societal, and environmental concerns but lets not turn away a win just because they’re causing harm elsewhere.

admitting to intentionally deskilling yourself has to be humiliating. Ouch.
So you code strictly in assembly? If you do, good for you. If you don’t, the I can’t believe you would intentional deskill yourself.
