AI very much did break Copyright law by taking stuff without having a license for it.
I haven’t read the article, but if the headline already starts out this wrong I don’t think it’ll get better.


And what if your target is using a different app for messaging?
I agree that blindly going trough memory isn’t the best solution. To catch everything, a keylogger as part of the input-handler of the OS would probably be the way to go.


You’ve already gotten a lot of responses about the first claim.
But to answer the second one:
Why would they mess with a specific app if they already control the OS? They could read everything they ever wanted from memory without anyone noticing.


No it’s not a good idea.
It’s extremely inefficent compared to just using elecricity directly for whatever you’re planning to do with it.


to ensure that its users are […] who they claim to be
I dont’t want that either. Maybe for verified accounts this makes sense, but not for the average shitposter.


Hot take: We shouldn’t lock down devices by default to a point where they protect even the most vulnerable.
Child safety locks exist for a reason and can also be used for the elderly.


All other countries curently forgo their climate commitments to “win” the AI race. (Whatever that even means)


Being shown in maps like this is opt-in, so there’s an unknown amount of users which are not displayed.


When the 3DS came out I was sure it would be a stepping stone to 3D TVs that didn’t require glasses.
3D TVs basically died out by now.


Maybe you want to edit your original comment. It looks like you’re claiming it does.


Does google photos really index photos locally? I somehow don’t believe that.


Context aware search, summarizing in side view or importing an agent directly from a repository into your browser are things that come to mind without much thinking, and i am not a developer.
And this is something normal users require?


And where to?
If both noteworthy browser engines are made by companies who make decisions against their user’s interest I might as well switch to the one with higher development budget.
The majority wants something that works with everything they throw at it out of the box without rummaging through settings.
And where does AI come into play here? It’s not like a browser without AI doesn’t work.


so asking us while FF wants to get NEW users
This is a balancing act and Mozilla behaves like an elefant in a porcelain shop right now. Worst case they loose their current users without attracting new ones.
existing users will bitch and moan even if it’s just one click
I’m one of them. Why not make it one click for people who want it instead?


very loud minority.
Please share your data that lead you to that conclusion.


They could do a survey amongst Firefox users about what they want.
But if the result is anti-AI they can’t claim anymore that they weren’t aware of their users opinions.


I hope people don’t buy the story that the kill switch was part of the plan all along.
This is clearly the result of mozilla scrambling for a compromise after the backlash to their recent announcement.
Edit: In the blog post that sparked the discussion there’s this sentence:
AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off.
They didn’t mention a browser-wide kill switch but I agree that that could be what they meant.


The idea behind anubis is that a browser needs to deliver proof-of-work before accessing a website.
If you’re doing it one-off with puppeteer, your “browser” will happily do just that.
But if you’re scraping millions of websites, short challenges like this add up quickly and you’ll end up wasting lots of compute on them. As long as scrapers decide that those websites are not worth it anubis works.
I guess the positive side of this is that at least some open source projects might move away from discord now.
The negative is that a lot of them used discord not only for communication but also documentation, losing all of that knowledge in the process.
