"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. (www.thatprivacyguy.com)

There's a possibly unsurprisingly high number of these...like my vet's online booking service. Literally cannot access it without Chrome. Not Chromium. Not Firefox. Not any FF derivatives. Only Google Chrome. It's frustrating. I used it once because the office was closed, and ever since I call in to book. When they tell me I can book online I tell them that the system doesn't support my browser of choice, not just my main choice but the top 10....

Change vets and tell them why.

A good vet is more important then one who's site works with Firefox.

Yeah. I ran into that when I moved into my new place. Couldn't access the resident portal via anything but a chrome browser. Wouldn't even load in Firefox (or waterfox).
