@danabra.mov Hey Dan! I’d like to make some videos on the Chrome for Developers channel about when React makes sense in Chrome Extensions and how to use it best. Would you be interested in being a guest or providing some input?

Sam’s replies are well worth a read!
@oliverdunk.com asked me where I get my info to stay up to date on the AI industry and I figure the answers might be useful to others. It’s a little challenging to wade through the hype but the stuff I list here has been good.
- the Dwarkesh podcast www.dwarkesh.com
- everything Andrej Karpathy has ever produced (you can binge his entire YouTube channel in a couple of days)
- I recently discovered semianalysis.com which covers the more business/economical side
- everything sebastianraschka.com has made

If you’re using server-side AI models, you usually need an API key to call them. A couple of weeks back I made a video looking at how to handle that in a Chrome extension: youtu.be/pl4pz4nWa3w
How can you keep API keys safe in a Chrome Extension?

I see a lot of confusion around if Chrome Extension APIs are cross-browser, and to what extent browsers agree on Manifest V3. What questions would it be most helpful for us to share answers to?
