Fuck AI

"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.

  • all of the planned new Firefox features for 2026 are "AI"-based (except for a new paid support tier)
  • they're taking our money and establishing an "AI"-focused investment arm
  • all of the art appears to be slop

Remember when Mozilla was not awful?

But... why... Why rewrite/redo what already works, is marvelous, and is overly customizable, safe, and convenient...
Why not do something more important and valuable? Is that to just burn funding into void?

Since this "AI" events on Firefox, I reconsidered my stance for Firefox 4th time now, and installed another browser.
Likely as you, I did also donate montery, and 2 people I know did, too. I also donated to Thunderbird.

Why disturb, devalue, obliterate the history of all the contributors, too... This is... just freaking incredibly sorrowful... like someone tries to annihilate it... to darken, damage a miracle...
