How the great have fallen. Google announces browser embedded AI and receives nothing but rightful hate and resentment.

Google quite rightfully cares very little about what Hacker News has to say anything.

That’s not the point. It’s an observation of how Google’s lost its status amongst hackers. It’s well into its transition into becoming the next IBM.

That is not a recent phenomenon. Google has always been an ad company.

It has been the "next IBM" for at least 5 years

Yes, as demonstrated by the reaction to articles like this. Started out as a few dissenters and lots of praise. Now we’re down to mostly negative comments.

Another few years and most of these won’t even make it to the front page.
