I was a weird kid and had this growing up

No just consume the desired ads on the desired browsers.

“What I’ve seen with AI is an erosion of trust.”

Mozilla is not going to train its own giant LLM anytime soon. But there’s still an AI Mode coming to Firefox next year, which Enzor-DeMeo says will offer users their choice of model and product, all in a browser they can understand and from a company they can trust. “We’re not incentivized to push one model or the other,” he says. “So we’re going to try to go to market with multiple models.” Some will be open-source models available to anyone.

This is such an out of touch non-answer here.

People don’t oppose ai changes because they’re locked into a model. In fact most AI products I use for my job let you choose a fucking model.

People hate them because

A) 90% of the time they’re useless and the remaining 10 are detrimental to the product experience

B) Ethical concerns about training off of artists and authors as well as environmental impact. EDIT: or also the general trend of trying to replace humans with AI.

C) Not wanting to play into the fucking arms race the billionaire class are manufacturing

D) The time they could be useful they have a risk of being either hilariously wrong or dangerously wrong. And there’s no amount of training and GPU manufacturing that’s gonna fix that.

Absolutely none of this is addressed by the CEO. I’m sure he has to say this because of the fucking tulip crazy money is in around this but it doesn’t make it any less tone deaf or futile.

I for one am shocked that the dude that proclaimed “They’re eating the dogs!” during a presidential debate would make harsh racist remarks.

Beep boop fellow clanker.

Add on top of it that they’re forcing engineers to use AI to try and magically bridge this gap and you get a lot of slop like this.

I wonder what trend Meta will rebrand themselves to next.

But I thought it was the magic silver bullet that will lead to unheard of productivity?!?

It feels like Neil Breen directed this dub.

Posted this in another community but I’ll leave this here too:

So back when I worked at Amazon I was playing around with AWS Skillbuilder. They don’t pay for any other training materials for SDEs (well they used to have ACloudGuru but ended that).

I was like “they charge money for this so it can’t be that bad right?” Well

1/3 of the courses were actually what I’d call “watchable”

1/3 were just SEO Blogspam masquerading as information

And the remaining 1/3 clearly used a text to speech software that was dreadful. It was incomprehensible.

I say all this to say that if there was ever a list of companies I would trust to do AI Dubs Amazon would be the bottom of that list.

Do you use fingerprinting instead? Or what’s the mechanism you use?

I’m more surprised the DOJ is going after her for this rather than giving her a medal.
