Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Firefox Will Ship with an “AI Kill Switch” to Completely Disable all AI Features (9to5linux.com)

After the controversial news shared earlier this week by Mozilla’s new CEO that Firefox will evolve into “a modern AI browser,” the company now revealed it is working on an AI kill switch for the open-source web browser.

Mozilla said that all the AI features that are or will be included in Firefox will also be opt-in.

Finally some good Firefox news.

Cant wait for the back peddling to begin.

. We have changed our policy and some AI powered tools can no longer be disabled with the Kill Switch.

. The Kill Switch may not work on browser forks due to several changes made, you must be using base firefox to have access to this feature.

. We will no longer offer a kill switch in its current state, instead you will have limited access to disable some AI features one by one in the settings & config menus (good luck getting them all)

. AI is actually great, so we have decided to make it impossible for users to disable it... Fuck you, we know better than our customers.
