This is a bit of an overstatement. Brave has competent software developers - they created their Rust-based content blocker, and kept it as open-source. It’s one of the most powerful blocking mechanisms, often working in places where even the rightfully praised uBlock Origin doesn’t (good examples are in YouTube itself last year when they’ve made a big attempt to stop adblocking by changing the underlying mechanism of how ads are being served in videos).

They were perfectly capable of developing advanced software before AI coding agents were a thing. They’re skilled and delivering.

You can’t earn so much money just to expect the responsibility won’t catch up with you. This one is a social responsibility for the impact caused.

If he wanted a low profile, no risk job, he could always opt to not become an executive in the first place.

AI is an effective tool if used correctly. It doesn’t replace thinking, so handle it with care.

Nobody sane would keep bashing a table with a hammer expecting different results than the table breaking under pressure at some point.

Nah, at this point the other nations should go Va Banque with their sanctions, and embargo until the USA collapses into +/- 50 independent countries. Toxic relationships deserve to have their bridges permanently burnt, no “another chance” just to be fooled once again.

AI is just an assisting technology, and that’s it. There’s no point to break a sweat over Intellectual Property and other theoretical (non-enforceable) “if” scenarios.

Mechanics cannot be copyrighted, period. If a certain function is achievable by code, you cannot copyright it.

If the code happens to be used in a private code base, sucks to be them. Good luck trying to lawsuit EU countries as an American business. Or better yet, good luck in lawsuits against Asian companies - I’m sure they’ll take you seriously!

If something is publicly available on the Internet, then it’s not private anymore. You have to live with that fact. Ever shared something embarrassing online? It’s going to live on the Internet forever now. Same goes for code.

Intellectual Property is sometimes a meme. It only applies in very specific scenarios where you can apply a patent or other protection, sure, but it still doesn’t guarantee the world will take it seriously, because guess what… The world is not under jurisdiction of the United States (which happens to be very fond of its patents).

Stay safe out there, AI is just a helper, and let it remain that way. Let the others worry about security of their own code, rather than skimping on salaries for cybersecurity professionals who would otherwise secure them against their code leaking to the public domain.

I doubt they did - they only speak up for the fictional customer, meanwhile silently complying to whatever government requests user data from them.

They’ll say anything just to distract their users away from them being caught red handed in the act of giving away their data to the governments all around the world.

Classic business marketing.
