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.

Mozilla is now encouraging unattributed slop code in Firefox (github.com)

Usually code contributions by various LLMs are easily identifiable because the agent is the author for the git commit. Mozilla on the other hand seem to be explicitly encouraging unattributed LLM code in Firefox. Also note jakearchibald, Mozillas AI spin doctor whenever devs question their intentions, lying about the reasons for this change. I think their true intentions are to muddy the waters to hide the amount of slop contributions in Firefox.

Vivaldi, EU made, fuck AI by default

Please don't recommend propriety software

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Well, in the case of Vivaldi "proprietary soft" is pretty relative. A small part of it's unique UI is proprietary of Vivaldi, but full auditable, means source available not closed source, even modificable by the user (they show you how, at own risk naturally). There is nothing shady in Vivaldi. employee owned cooperative in Norway.

Having some source code does not mean it's free software

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 41 minutes ago

That is, as said, 5% of the code related to the UI is proprietary, only this isn't allowed to use for other products (eg. Chrome, EDGE), but the user is free to modify it for his Vivaldi browser, they show you even how to do it. The rest is a de-googled Chromium, which is FOSS and other layers with several different OpenSource licenses. For Gecko browsers it's way easier to go full FOSS, because there isn't any big corporation which have browsers with this engine,same for relative basic Chromium forks, but not so with browsers like Vivaldi, which is more an online suite as only an simple browser. It would be a shot in the own knee if Google or MS could fork it freely.

I use Vivaldi and it's miles better than default chrome or Firefox, but it is still chromium.

There's also edge, or opera. But, Vivaldi is nice for its blockers + note taking

Better than Firefox?

That's enough for me

[–] Casterial@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Firefox has gotten corrupted multiple times for me with normal use, to the point it wasn't worth it. Specifically the user profile.

Ublock is great though.
