I want you to pay me twenty dollars a month. The difference is I won’t get in your way like AI.
I’d pay $20 a month never to hear about AI again
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
At this point I’d rather every corp pushing it lose all their money instead.
We laugh about it but there are lots of idiots that will pay for it
Who? America is a monster market and half of us read at a 6th grade level or less. Bet there’s not 1-in-50 people in my hood that could comment on AI.
No business is paying $50/mo. a seat. It’s a struggle getting auth for useful products.
SOURCE: Been purchasing IT for the last 10-years.
Imagine selling this to the boss. “Why am I paying for a web browser? Aren’t those all free?”
Heard a lot of dumb AI decisions, but I gotta disagree on this one, no one’s buying.
I wpuldnt use it if they paid me $20 a month
We bringing back the Netscape Navigator business plan?! Because that didn’t work out so well for Netscape.
“This is different because AI!”
Business ideas like this share a thing with lemmy; They all overestimate how tech savvy people are. I could knock every door on the block and ask for opinions on AI and the only person who might have a clue is the young guy next door who does IT for the county. Everyone else would have no idea what I was asking or have a wildly misinformed opinion.

This is what you call a AAAA quality CEO
Anyone old enough to remember the first time Opera had a paid version of its browser?
I swore it off then (90’s) and will never go back.
You used to have to buy netscape. You could also buy “the internet yellow pages” to find websites.
The 90s were a wild time on the internet.
Never had to buy Netscape, and I remember the Navigator 3 gold days.
I have one of those! I treasure my copy of UNIX for Dummies, came time frame.
The fact is that an AI assistant could also be quite useful at times, but people have to understand how the core functioning of a browser works (i.e. for the vast majority of things you use a search engine, not a chatbot), and its paramount to have a local AI for such services, in order to guarantee privacy and affordability

It can also eat my ass like groceries.
This guy is a web3 leader, agile coach, and he has a “Master of Science in Leadership & Organizational Behavior.” Not a scammer at all.
And paying $20 a month to search for slop recipes and have your private data stolen is very cheap.
Web 3 was the NFT world, surely an AI fueled internet is Web4? Hm. Why haven’t we heard of web 4 yet?
The matrix is vibe coding itself as we speak!
My dudes… Opera has been a paid browser for 20 years. Go find a new edge to lord over.
Dear edge lord. Please don’t dude me.
or make false claims without any evidence
What specifically are you requesting friend, this is a matter of public record?
As for the “dude” I don’t really consider it gender-specific… though your handle indicates that you’re the king of insect shit so, I’m honestly having a hard time seeing where I went wrong here.
That’s great. Better than putting that crap in the free version
dont worry. there’ll be plenty of free ads and pop ups for those who dont pay
Isn’t Opera already some Chinese spyware?
Opera did ditch their own browser engine long time back and are now just a skin on Chromium [like many other browsers]. Opera, for some reason, has multiple browsers running. Neon isn’t their main offering as of now. They technically have Opera GX [gaming focused version] and Opera Air [released some months earlier though I haven’t used the latter] as well.
But they literally got bought up, and (IIRC) the main Opera devs moved to Vivaldi.
Opera, as it exists now, is literally just a just capitalizing on the old browser’s name recognition.
Which is kind of funny. It barely had any name recognition at all, and for the die hards still on board, they all tracked the nuance of the situation and either gave up or went to Vivaldi.
IDK. It has enough recognition that I’ve seen it confuse folks on Lemmy. And this is a pretty techy crowd.
What is a “Gam8r focused” browser?
Rgb… rgb everywhere!
