Love this quote from Dylan and very much agree! "And there's other things where designers, with lateral thinking and context and past experience, just have these skills that models do not have, and are able to make associations with real-world inputs that are moments in culture, or the feeling that you're trying to evoke."

one of the most underrated shifts happening now is that ai is separating consumption from attention. i.e. historically in order to extract any real value from anything you consume, you had to give attention to that content directly (often painstakingly). this meant you had to sit there sifting through ads, sponsor messages, hidden promotions, filler content, & often crazy amounts of repetition too. agents break this relationship entirely. they *extract* value without requiring attention from *you*. that has a potentially devastating impact for any business that monetizes based on time spent rather than value delivered. it's like adblock on steroids for everything.

this is so bleak

We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026. That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community. Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward. We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how: · Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly. · Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact. · Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security. · The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional. Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.
