"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.

Architecting Consent for AI: Deceptive Patterns in Firefox Link Previews (www.quippd.com)

TL;DR: Mozilla has a new CEO and a new mission: transform Firefox into an AI browser. That has run into some snags, as Firefox users don’t seem that interested in AI. Mozilla is forging ahead, utilizing deceptive patterns (previously known as dark patterns) to nag and annoy people into enabling AI features. You can see this in the introduction of Link Previews, an extremely invasive anti-feature that exists solely to push AI into your experience.

There are only two options for browsers right now blink and gecko and it's morally wrong to use blink. As much as I detest Mozilla's new direction, it's not nearly as bad as google. Never use a browser utilizing the blink engine (chrome derivatives).

Waterfox and Librewolf use the Gecko engine but don’t ascribe to Mozilla’s shenanigans.
