The op of this thread (not this quoted post) is what #DemandEverythingAcceptNoTradeOff is for.

As if any @firefox fork, including @librewolf, has the ability to even maintain the Gecko engine - let's all switch to forks or Chromium and see the dying days of adblock.

Their #AI is a local on-device model runs without internet connection, it has nothing to do with #InfoSec or #Privacy - just teenagers shouting at the sky because everyone else hates AI they should post something about it.

He (on the balance of probability) can't even tell that he addressed the Lemmy sub instead of the official Firefox account; I wonder what he studies technologies for.

I'm addition to that, mozilla participates in the standards committees. It is important that they do, and I'm not aware of a single entity that could substitute for them.

@ada @firefox @librewolf This appears to be the stance for a lot of people, even if there is even a whiff of AI in something, then it would be condemned to hell including anyone who accidentally uses it (Bit extreme imo, but this is what I am reading daily)

It's not perfect, sure. But the misinformation surrounding it is deafening.
GenAI of images, video and music on the other hand... yeah, that can feck off.

@padraig @firefox @librewolf
That's what the lack of critical thinking skills gets them; spending too much time on social media won't help.

I don't agree on Gen AI though. I'm not aware of an musician who is happy to make lift or toilet music, or even proud of their works to be used in such manner.
