Letter to Arc members 2025
Second, I would’ve embraced AI fully, sooner and unapologetically. The truth is I was obsessed. I’d stay up late, after my family went to bed, playing with ChatGPT— not for work, but out of sheer curiosity.
But I also felt embarrassed. I hated so much of the industry hype (and how I was contributing to it). The buzzwords. The self-importance. It made me pull back from my own curiosity, even though it was real and deep. You can see this in how cautious our Arc Max rollout was. I should have embraced my inspiration sooner and more boldly.
A well-written and remarkably transparent note from Josh Miller, CEO of the Browser Company, explaining why the company decided to walk away from Arc, a browser loved by a small but devoted fanbase, in favor of Dia, an AI-first browser. I suspect many are feeling the above in this exact moment -- recognizing that this moment in AI is huge but possessing an allergy to hype cycles.
