TL;DR: Mozilla recently released AI controls for Firefox: a single control panel that lets people disable AI features in the browser or pick and choose which to leave on. On the surface, this sounds like a win for user choice in an era of AI-everything.
Yes - but the way Firefox monetizes itself is by selling its audience. Are you saying that you want Mozilla to partner with the AI companies in order to monetize their userbase?
@yoasif no, but if we disable all the AI features (which the people vocal about the AI features will definitely do), isn’t it fine?
How is it fine if users aren’t taking up the AI partnerships? Mozilla will get paid based on usage.
@yoasif so they get paid if the users who had it enabled use the feature. Is that not fine? People aren’t being forced to use the AI stuff in Firefox.
AI is based on theft, so Mozilla is monetizing its userbase based on theft. Are you saying you endorse this view?
@yoasif Is your government not corrupt? So are you not voting for it or doing anti government rallies for it? Do you endorse your corrupted senators, ministers and presidents? AI is here whether we like it or not.
Are you saying that I am endorsing my corrupt senators? No, I am not, actually.
