So here it is — @ryolu_ 's talk at @aiDotEngineer 2026 Shanghai.
I shot it handheld on a Xiaomi 15 Ultra, so there's some shake; I fixed as much of it as I could in CapCut. Handheld footage just isn't going to be sharp or steady.
Still, it's the best talk I saw on day 1 of AIE — which is why I'm not posting a text summary. Watch for yourself.
I missed the first minute or so. Ryo opens with the excitement of what AI makes possible, and how seeing what others are building can quickly turn that excitement into anxiety about falling behind.
extremely underrated read (particularly for designers) that touches on what happens to 'taste' and repulsive culture when human expression is "same-ifyed" by AI
The Simplified Chinese Internet ran on reward and punishment. LLM training feels uncomfortably familiar, @afrazhaowang reports.

"Schama, a historian at Columbia University, tells us that art is a “thug,” “merciless and wily.” It will “grab you in a headlock, rough up your composure, and then proceed in short order to re-arrange your sense of reality.”

your absence has gone through me

everything I do is stitched with its color

Imagine you accomplish the herculean task of convincing people to switch off of Chrome as their default browser (something Microsoft couldn't even do with billions of dollars) and then you decide to just throw it all away.
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.
NOOOOOOOOOO
