"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.

I remain unconvinced that LLMs have any practical application given their massive costs.
Pocket was used and loved by a lot of people, sure, but it was forced upon everybody, even those who did not love it and did not want to use it, and, get this, couldn't be rid of it until the noise got loud enough Mozilla finally added the ability to remove it. THIS is why I no longer trust Mozilla people. They've very clearly veered away from their original user-focused world.
So, Pocket alone made me mistrust Mozilla. Now let's talk Looking Glass. Let's talk all the AI crap they're now shoving in without an opt-in and without an easy way to opt-out. Mozilla is no different, ethically, than any other Silly Con Valley company. Just without the profits.
