Brave shipped Containers in v1.92 on July 2. It lets you be logged into two accounts on the same site at once. Chrome cannot copy it without breaking its single-identity ad model. That is why it is a wedge.
We assume clicking on pictures of stoplights was just a security measure to keep bots out of our accounts. In reality Google was crowdsourcing millions of hours of free human labor to build the most advanced autonomous driving network on earth.
Artificial Intelligence
We assume independent laboratories will dominate the future of artificial intelligence software. The reality is a quiet silicon alliance between Google and Meta will commoditize the industry and crush standalone competitors.
We assume corporate branding requires locking your proprietary font inside a strict walled garden. Google just open sourced their flagship typeface and made it the default in Docs to quietly dictate the visual aesthetic of the entire internet.
We assume Amazon and Microsoft will forever control the internet through a rigid server duopoly. The reality is that terrified corporate executives are aggressively splitting their infrastructure to avoid catastrophic vendor lock-in.
Performance Marketing
We assume generative chatbots will inevitably destroy Google search volume and cripple their advertising business. The reality is their unmatched attribution tracking and forced algorithmic bidding guarantee their pricing power will only increase.
Meta
The social media giant is leveraging its idle hardware to build a stealth cloud business with the most lucrative anchor tenant on earth. Inspiration: Analyzing the strategic possibility of Meta renting compute back to Google in exchange for custom silicon access. Realizing this circular trade protects corporate margins while validating
We assume Google is just a search engine desperately trying to defend its aging advertising monopoly. The reality is they are aggressively pivoting their capital to monetize a decade of dormant physical moonshots.
Economy & Markets
We assume Alphabet is burning hundreds of billions of dollars just to compete in a digital chat bot war. In reality they are aggressively stockpiling the compute required to power physical robotics and autonomous global mobility.
Artificial Intelligence
We assume enterprise software means paying AI monopolies forever. In reality, autonomous agents will make open-source fine-tuning so easy that businesses will simply manufacture their own intelligence.
Technology
We assume Nvidia holds an unbreakable monopoly on the hardware powering artificial intelligence. Apple's aggressive development of the M5 Ultra and Project Baltra proves that the most valuable tech companies are quietly building the server silicon required to completely bypass them.
Technology
We assume the future of autonomous vehicles is a luxury transportation service competing on premium pricing. In reality, the impending robotaxi price war will force operators to offer free rides subsidized entirely by targeted digital advertising.
