  • No AI* Here - A Response to Mozilla's Next Chapter - Waterfox Blog

  • Don't get me wrong I hate LLMs being shoved down our throats, but I think the "Mozilla using AI" stuff is overblown. The few LLM features they've implemented are useful and non-intrusive. I actually think it's a rare example of the tech being used intelligently (no pun intended).

  • Well said, I think the library is the biggest point but also a harder sell for someone used to losing a large percentage of their games every generation. They see it as "having to buy their games again" in the short term.

  • Eh, it's the same man children that turn out to whine anytime a woman is doing anything other than trying to look sexy for them. I like these threads because it's an easy way to find people to block.

  • Now her content is following me here to the Fediverse, and the drama too

    Is someone forcing you to spread this drama?

  • This is it exactly.

    "But how can we know if it's a bot?"

    We probably can't based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

  • that's not how any of this works

  • Honestly I was upset when they announced the "pivot to AI", but Mozilla is the only company I've seen actually using LLM tech in a productive, helpful way. The link preview feature is nice too.

  • You're not wrong about the Nazis, but since Substack doesn't run ads, clicking will technically cost the company money.

  • The Syncthing Android drama is exploding

    Jump

  • It always is. The thing with FOSS vs a private company is that internal debates are:

    1. Public
    2. Involving people working for free

    Meaning we not only see the ""drama"", but that it can become more verbally intense. Buuuuut it almost never ends up mattering much to the average user, and when it does, the public certainly won't learn about it on github or the replies to a toot.

  • Right? The entire point of the fediverse is more moderation, if someone wants to force others to listen to their speech they can join an instance with no rules or go to X.com.

  • r/buyfromeu asking for a reddit alternative

    Jump

  • I've just accepted that most Redditors want a content feed to read on the toilet, and very few are looking for conversation or community.

    If we can convince people looking for the latter to come to the fediverse... now that's the real victory.

    Jump

  • Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml attract the most users but their (lack of) meaningful moderation really helps prevent users from staying, imo. Most users don't understand that joining a smaller instance is often a better experience. And why would they stick around the Fediverse if their experience is worse than that of Reddit?

  • I really dislike LLMs/AI but.......

    Jump

  • The right tool for the right job... LLMs can't do a lot, and can make a lot of things worse when misapplied, but that doesn't mean the technology is wholly useless.
