  • This is absurd.

    This is like saying that if nazi propaganda becomes the main selling point of web browsers, then firefox should add it just to stay relevant.

    The advantage of firefox is (was) that it takes a stance instead of blindly following market trends. Following AI, no matter how immoral and damaging it is, just to avoid a hypothetical loss, is absolute bullshit.

    They are doing it because they lost the will to take a stance, and this is what is killing them. Straying away from the opensouce, privacy centric stance is costing them their user base, and people who weren’t wanting such a stance are not going to move away from their usual browser with AI and whatever.

    It’s exactly the thing that leftist parties do when they try to appeal to the nazis, they just get buried in their own stupidity.

    Why do you think firefox-based browsers are getting more and more popular? It’s because they bring back firefox where it should be, because no one with enough brain to want to use firefox, wants a firefox with data collection and AI slop.

    The kid that brings me my bacon sandwich when I’m hungover is about the height of a small bin, but he’s really lovely and is definitely learning more about the world than he would be sitting in his room.

    And that’s the most important thing. Within reason, kids doing part-time jobs will teach them about the world. The grimmer the work they do, the more incentivised they’ll feel to work hard at school so they can avoid a rubbish job.

    “Sitting in your room and developing a sense of self and learning to not require permanent social interaction is horrible. Instead, kids should suffer and see how soul-crushing capitalism is, so that they can be terrified into fitting in the mold and will accept settling for shit pays and jobs because they are already used to those”




  • And if the burgers are made by people who just grab random items to try to make it look like a burger, whether or not it is edible, no one would.

    AI code is unreliable, unsafe, and worst of all, has no basis of even basic intelligence. I’d trust more code produced by a monkey than by an AI. Trusting AI code is like trusting a very realistic drawing of a tunnel and running into it while knowing that it’s a drawing, because “it looks like a real tunnel so it must work like one”. AI code is not code, it’s keywords scrambled together to look like code.
